EV's don't loose much battery in cold weather.

Very interesting for those of us in the tundra. Anyone know if we can expect the same from a Leaf?

Very, Very nice! This should be very close to what we can expect from TODAY's Leaf - the one without the cold weather battery heater.

I love it when 'reality' trumps a poorly written article written by someone that knows a keyboard better than the item about which they're writing. :lol:

One real-world test that Nissan submitted the entire drivetrain to was a 6 year experiment running an EV in northern Norway. In a small village, with no maintenance for 6 years and it ran fine. And this was back in the year 2000. Here's a photo and a little more info on the car that did it.

We had a server hard drive crash. (Never a good thing...) We're slowly getting everything back in place.
