Yeah, it’s amazing the stuff people will believe. Like you can’t charge or drive electric cars when it’s below freezing. The cars actually have pre-heat apps and other approaches for dealing with that. Disadvantages are it does require some power out of the battery and it has to be scheduled a little in advance of the drive, if not still warm from last trip.
