@[email protected] I mean, it shouldn't be the technology, right? Tell me if I've slept through that part of physics class, but lower temperatures should be better for charging!
@[email protected] Well... for cables, sure. For the battery? Absolutely not. Cold temps wreck battery charging performance which is why most EVs have some means to warm up the cells. Nearly all have had this to keep the battery above some minimum threshold, but newer cars work to heat the battery pack to properly warm temps en-route to a fast charger (called battery preconditioning) which greatly reduces charging time.
@[email protected] oh, yup. I've clearly slept through chemistry class, then! Thanks for explaining :ablobcatheartsqueeze:
