Batteries in electric vehicles charge slower when it’s cold because low temperatures partially solidify the liquid electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries. This slows down ion transfer, which restricts charging speeds. The simple way to remedy this problem is to pre-heat your vehicle if it has this feature. For example, Tesla’s have a battery pre-heat mode. If […]
