Space contrary to common belief is not cold at all in practice. Space is empty, so there’s nothing to transfer heat away. All heat production builds up rapidly. A battery is going to produce heat discharging itself and it’s going to get warm or even hot in space.
Also if you take a look at the photo it’s in the sun. Moon surface temperatures reach a peak of 126C according to google.
To be fair, you could probably find an early-2000s VW that never had a window regulator failure, but finding an exception doesn’t invalidate a general criticism.
I think the concerns about EVs in the cold are somewhat overblown but I’d never recommend an EV for someone who lives somewhere that has real winters, if that person couldn’t be plugged in/charge at home. Though, I’d also never recommend one to someone who can’t charge at home anyway, even without winter.
If you can charge at home, the climate doesn’t matter.
Ah A GM built EV that doesnt catch fire!

So tired of that argument from the anti-ev side. It tops my list after “EVs are coal fired!”
