Its why most of Wisconsin has never seen an electric car. Half the year you have to cut the max mileage in half. And you have to figure you are burning twice the electricity per mile as well. EVs make no sense in the north.

Twelve below Celsius, not Fahrenheit.

By the end of 2023, the company plans to have 320 electric buses, which the bus company’s CEO previously described as a “great victory for the environment.”

Of course, this is caused by Global Warming.

The only surprise is that the bus companies could not figure it out ahead of time.

10 degrees Fahrenheit is quite cold enough to send most EVs to the scrap heap.

Maybe they could use them as bricks for building housing for the homeless.

10 F is not uncommon in West Texas.
Add in the distances between town, well forget it.

Electric trolleys work in cold weather; I took an electric train in Switzerland back around December 2007 or so.

They’ve been around since the 1800’s but it’s not what the greenies in charge want.

One of my friends from NYC drives an electric bus here in Appalachia and he says it is barely able to handle it. He says “If it was in Binghamton, it would be parked”

It’s not like they couldn’t research that stuff ahead of time. 🙄

They use electric trolleys in Russia, if I’m correct.

"The bus company Ruter reported that the range of the electric buses was not as good as usual because of the cold weather. It was about 12 degrees below zero."

That's a lot of space to heat if it's from energy supplied by the battery. It seems intuitive that amount of surface is a pretty large heatsink.
