EV Owners Confront Severe Complications Amid Recent Harsh Winter Blast

Hydrogen Fuel News

Furthermore, cold weather necessitates that a portion of the stored battery energy must be allocated to warming the battery itself to maintain operational efficiency, a process referred to as thermal management. This slows down the cooling rate of the battery’s internal parts.
