Driving during the winter months quite difficult It can be. This can be especially apparent for people who use electric vehicles. Looking at the responses, we see that the range of electric vehicles has decreased and they have difficulty charging.

The complaints of some people who own an electric car are as follows:

“It has to be the greatest irony I have ever seen that electric cars are being brought to car dealerships on the back of a gasoline-powered tow truck to replace their frozen batteries.”

“There are 91,000 electric car owners in Illinois who cannot use their cars for more than a few minutes a day. It is too cold to charge the battery and it takes two hours to charge.

Before investing in electric cars, you need a garage and knowledge of how to preheat the battery. “As for me, I’ll stick with what works: gasoline.”

“Don’t electric vehicles work in the cold? Don’t say that…”

Especially those who do not have a charging station at home experience problems.

The range of electric vehicles is already limited in cold weather not too highrange of most urban models 250-300 kilometers It’s somewhere in the tape. People who have to travel a certain distance continuously during the day therefore have to constantly charge their vehicle. There are some reasons for this situation.

Most electric cars have lithium-ion batteries. Lithium Because it is a very light and energy-efficient element, its electron movements slow down extremely in cold weather. Liquid lithium ion also begins to solidify, which is accompanied by viscosity It has been said. More viscosity means more resistance. More resistance means longer charging time and less efficient energy transfer. In summary, as the weather gets colder, starting the car becomes more difficult on the battery.

Manufacturers like Tesla also test vehicles before launching them. by bringing it to the right temperature suggests. Warming up the vehicle also increases battery performance, but requires energy to be consumed in the battery. So the vehicle must first warm up. This problem is of course not a major obstacle to the transition to electric vehicles, but simply represents a step in our learning curve to drive electric. While battery complaints are already coming from countries such as the US Norway The fact that countries like this do not face such a problem makes the situation clear.
