"A brother and sister say they had to stop 6 times in one day to charge their rented Tesla in cold weather after the battery drained quickly"

Guessing 20 minutes for each charge, that's 2 hours to charge, probably waiting in line too.

Additionally, it is being claimed that EV lithium batteries take longer to charge when they are cold.

And they can’t be charged at all without damaging them if it’s below freezing, unless the batteries are electrically warmed which, of course, uses even more power. “Green energy” is the biggest and most unnecessary Rube Goldberg device ever invented.
