Doesn’t it work fine if you preheat the battery before you hit the road? Or is this article just concentrating on the old EVs that have no battery heating/cooling systems?
That. Because those are the EVs that were rolled out in developing countries without proper foresight or supporting infrastructure.
I expect it'll work out in the long run, but such a waste.
Global warming to the rescue!
Well, its basically why range is still an issue. Winter range, not summer range. Buuuut it's still planable, so it's not much of an issue. As the Nordics show. Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki are all as far north as anchorage. Doesn't stop the Norwegians from going almost all electric. 95%+ of all new cars are fully electric in Norway and pure ICE is at about 33% in Sweden. Personally I prefer electric in the cold.
