I’ve always heard that EVs are not a great option if you live in really cold areas due to them not being very efficient in the cold. Why is that? And do gas powered vehicles have the same issue?
In: Engineering
The problem is heating. Electric vehicles are so efficent in converting the energy source they have into movement that there isnt a lot of heat that you can use for heating the inside of your car, so you basicly need to use the battery you use for movement also to heat up your car. Gas powered vehicles dont have this problem because they produce a lot of heat anyway that you can use to heat up the car.
