Electric cars not working well in the cold

That's alright - the panel gaps on some Model 3's are big enough to climb in that way! (yes, I'm going to Hell. Elon will be there to greet me,

Batteries don't do well in extreme temperatures - matters not if those are cold or heat. I'm guessing these are designed to work better in heat though.

Unhappy

In some trucks. There is an option for a block heater and battery heater for cold temps.

A lead acid battery will freeze solid if it doesn't have a charge in it. 2 yrs ago. I had to replace 4, 6v batteries in my motorhome because the batteries froze and broke the cases. The motorhome was sitting at a RV dealer waiting on to be repaired. It sat from Nov to Feb in Cleveland. No way for me to keep the batteries charged.
