Comment on Norway on track to be first to go all-electric
Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoYou’re incredibly confident for being so blatantly incorrect.
We had negative 30 C last winter. I drove my EV to work every single day. When the batteries were cold I had reduced power available, which made no difference at all as it was -30 C and snow everywhere.
Using the battery also heats it up. Zero pre-heating of the batteries. I can literally watch my available power return while driving normally.
If batteries wouldn’t work in the extreme cold, they would not be able to turn over the starter on your ICE car either, which it very clearly does….
You are literally arguing against something close to a million people do in Norway every single day between November and March. Open a map and look how far north we stretch. Oslo is as far north as Vancouver. People live and drive EV’s in Hammerfest.
So please, just stop. You are dead wrong about batteries/EV’s, but take this chance to learn something new.

Well we just had snow sweep across the eastern US last week, nowhere near as cold as Norway, and just that was enough to brick the cars and freeze up the charging stations to the point of barely working. So let us know where you all are getting these magic batteries.
We also had EV’s catching fire in the southern US throughout the summer. Not sure why the anti-hydrogen crowd is dead set on us forcing EV’s into these environments where it’s problematic.

The exact same batteries as you have in your EV’s, which is why you are either ill-informed or lying. I am guessing it’s the first, so I am arguing in good faith.
Just take a step back: A country with 5,5 million people and 93% of all new cars are EV’s. Who has more knowledge on how they work in the cold? You, my new found friend on Lemmy, or us?
Not trying to be snarky, but we drive them every single day in winter. Batteries do not need to be heated to work, so please stop spreading this lie.
They DO however need a certain battery temp to charge, but that’s a different discussion.
I’m not arguing against hydrogen cars. I am just correcting some if the claims you have made.

Guess all of these people are in on the conspiracy?

Did you read your own links at all before sending them?
You need more chargers. Not the cars fault.
Yes, like I said: cold batteries charge slower. This is well known. Drive a bit before expecting to push 200 kW into a frozen battery. I’ve ghit my max (155 kW) many times.
Also well known. All cars use more energy to heat up the cabin in winter, including ICE vehicles.
Crazy, it works for some. Maybe they have these magical batteries you accused us of having?
Which nobody ever denied being true.
Incredible! Her car must be exported from Norway! Zero issues in 10 years, just like we experience here! Unbelieveable.
I’m out of this argument now. You have demonstrated that you have absolutely zero knowledge of how EV’s work and you are a waste of everybodys time and energy.
Stay clueless and ignorant, I don’t really care, but for anyone reading this in the future: surph_ninja literally argued batteries don’t work in the cold in a thread about EV’s being sold in the frozen hellhole called Norway. The irony is incredible.
