Does anyone remember old fashioned batteries? When I was a kid, when the battery in my toy ran down, I could get a little extra use out of it by putting it on the radiator for a while. The subject of battery efficiency in varying temperatures is literally, child's play.
More important is when ice is cold it makes pollution so much worse in winter with all those short trips school runs and work, people more likely to leave engines running to keep warm. Ev can run more efficiently and keep warm while not emitting harmful gasses around sensitive areas.
Yes you have your heating to keep you warm, or do you, because if you do your using more electricity, less range so more charging = more pollution. Where do you think electricity comes from? Clue, it doesn't come from unicorns. And no, all electric isn't clean. Answer: a good chunk of electric comes from fossilfuel. You forget, EVs are not as green as you think.
I've got Ford Focus running on LPG. In winter my mileage per liter improves. I think it's because the conditioner is not used and fuel density increases with lower temperatures (liter of LPG weighs more). Plus combustion engines do not need to spend additional fuel to heat the cabin, they just redistribute the waste energy from engine cooling system.
That's fantastic. You will find that your efficiency drops in the summer, and you need to use additional fuel to cool down the cabin, which get hotter for you because you have a fire under the bonnet.
@@Xerxesro1 no, the cabin in summer gets hotter because of the ambieng temperature. The fire under the bonnet has nothing to do with the cabin temperature unless I turn the heater on.
@@urbanspaceman7183 And you don't, after a while. Unless you live in Siberia. The engine warms up and generates enough heat. As a matter of fact it generates more heat than power.
Why? I did a 370 mile trip in an EV recently. I stopped for coffee, a toilet visit and a sandwich. My car needed to charge for 15 minutes. I needed 18 minutes to deal with my human needs. So this trip was faster than if I was driving a petrol car because I didn't have to spend time waiting while the petrol tank was refilled.
I have never had a problem with cold and my petrol car. Cold weather is an EV problem. The only problem I have had with freezing weather and a petrol car was years ago. My car wouldn't start. why? The battery was flat because the freezing cold drained the power of the battery. Enough said.

I'm sure there is a bit more to it than that :-)
@@incaseyoudidntknowchannel Yes there is. But science confirms without even the slightest doubt that battery performance is massively worse when cold.

I think you will find that cold air is denser and therefore has a higher oxygen content based on volume. More power for each combustion cycle.

@@Xerxesro1 By your "logic" he shouldn't need to use a heater in winter.

Electric is good if u got short journey 😊
Why?

Is it though?
most people travel less than 30 miles per day
Electric cars are horrible even when they're parked, it doesn't matter how many miles people do per day.@@incaseyoudidntknowchannel

Yes but ICE vehicles also give poorer mpg in cold weather
@incaseyoudidntknowchannel EVs have problems, big problems.
