The cold weather there is terrible for Lithium batteries. This plan will never hold with current EV tech
The cold weather there was terrible for gas engines too. It's definitely viable with what we have.
I drive an EV in northern Norway. No problemo. Most new cars sold in Norway are EVs.
This is great news to me. I have been thinking that they were doomed in cold weather. Maybe they are well insulated?
You would want one that has a heat pump. It does lose range in cold weather of course, but function is never a problem. Mine has a range of 400-500km in summer, and 300-350km in winter.
That said, it doesn't get colder than -15--20°c where I live.
