  • Such a dumb article. The ev problem in the cold is the range and charge speed. Not the weight or anything else. Lithium batteries take more damage charging and discharging in the cold. It also wastes a lot of battery to keep the battery and passenger compartment warm, and it will charge slower with a lower maximum capacity in the cold.

    Bottom line is that if you have a 500km range ev, you shouldn’t expect it to be able to go further than 300km in extremely cold weather, or have the same amount of torque\power. Even worse if it’s been left unplugged and outside. This won’t ever change with a wet cell lithium battery. Other ev batteries are slowly starting to crop up.



















  • For watching videos, surfing the web, and doing most phone things it doesn’t get warm at all, and that’s with the fan (and 90% just there because it looks badass liquid cooling) turned off. The phone has a processor that can put out some heat, but regular phone stuff just uses such a small amount of it’s maximum that it doesn’t get the least bit warm.

    It will get warm when speed charging (the fan and liquid cooler will automatically kick in when doing the speed charging) but not anything I’d feel like calling hot.

    It will also get warm when playing more in demand games. Like I’ve been playing red Dead redemption on it with the highest settings. I have the options selected to turn on the fan and liquid cooling when in game mode, but it doesn’t go beyond warm or make my hands sweat.

    I haven’t tried any games more taxing than rdr. I’ll have to install genshin impact or something to see.
