Please don't refer to -20C as extreme cold lol ... We call that Tuesday night here in Canada 😊

You might have normalized it, but you do in fact live in extreme cold. :P

Interesting video. The couple (don’t recall their names) drove a Nissan Ariya from the actual North Pole to the actual South Pole. That, in itself, attested to the excellent ability of the Ariya in extreme weather conditions.

Honestly, the issue of battery performance in cold weather is overblown and many people don't understand the chemistry plus misinformation to demonize EVs. Yes, you do lose some capacity which is recouped as the battery warms up and preconditioning for faster charging when needed. I'm not sure what the big deal is.

EV Pulse is doing some great topic coverage in recent episodes. There's a lot of channels doing new EV reviews and test drives. You can only sit through so many videos of battery size, charge rate, range etc. EV Pulse is covering a lot of the other important topics related to EV ownership. that other channels miss like EVs for Seniors, Tesla Charge Adapter for Ford, Deep Freeze EV Testing, etc. Keep up the great content coverage!

Don't forget Craig seeing how hard a sandwich gets overnight!

The issue isn't only the inefficiency of Lithium ion batteries in cold. The other issue is that the car needs to use energy to warm itself - thus speeding up the depletion of its usable range. The snake eating itself by its tail. Then there's the possibility of lines and waiting at a fast charger. Anything more than an Hour - of you sitting there with the heater on to keep from freezing - and now you're in danger of the battery dying before you even get to the charger. I have a home charger (Lectron Vbox) and I charge in Public on EVgo. Even at the coldest this winter: 20'F I didn't have any significant problems and my car would only lose 10 miles of range in 7 hours of idle.

You’re ev can sit turned on for hours The problem is people playing Kyle Conner and arriving at the charger with 0% charge. Put them in bad position if you have to wait

Thanks, Craig. Informative, entertaining and well-edited content.

-20C or "Spring" in Norway.

Great insight! Be interesting to see how much it'll improve for extreme temps with all other EVs brand.

Fascinating video. Ansu and Jeff were great. My favorite part was @4:30 when your ‘global warming’ joke bombed, at least with Jeff. Ansu was grinning like I was. Thanks Nissan the great behind the scenes access.

Norway 90 percent evs way colder there and they are loving tesla

What an informative video. Makes me love my Ariya even more. Thank you so much for this. Oh yeah! Love the "drum roll music" Funny! Much Respect.

Awesome, thank you!

The range estimation when you turn the car back on is based on prior drive cycle stats. You need to drive the vehicle for a while for the vehicle to acquire fresh data from its frozen state before estimates get updated accordingly unless Nissan's range guesstimator has sufficiently accurate correction tables to account for temperature offsets between ambient temperature old data was acquired at and current temperature.

On Teslas, you can remotely set it to warm the cabin an hour before leaving even you're NOT plugged in. In the process, the battery slowly warms itself. If the Nissan has the same ability, you should not need to be plugged in if you don't have a place to.

Well most cars and EVs do have app capabilities with remote start and hold functions. I do it with my Subaru Solterra

@@rylans.5365 This is not remote start. The EV is not on. It doesn't have to be to warm itself. EVs don't have an ICE engine that needs to crank up for just about anything you need from it, and can be risky if left outside unattended

Great video! But it makes me wonder you going to an OEM that is pushing back against the EV adoption (as most Japanese OEMs). I guess Tesla said no…

I’d like to see the do this to an Ioniq. Or, Classic Ioniq as it’s now called. Let’s go, Bjørn.

This video, like that thermometer, is a novelty. Pretty useless. That engineer should know that electrons work better in the cold (superconductors anyone?) but its chemistry that slows down with temperature.

Run the car down to 0%, deep freeze, then try to charge while still in the freezer

I've switched back to calling it global warming because I consider the Earth a closed system so the net effect is an increase in heating on the Earth.

Craig.......what credentials do you have to make you an expert on EV's ? It seems to me most people that consider themselves have NO credentials for being experts on ANYTHING. I am willing to admit some backgrounds would be considered a proper background to consider themselves experts on EV's. Common sense is a good thing to have but it only makes you an expert in common sense. I would consider some engineers or even physicists possible experts under certain conditions. But if your wife or girlfriend is an engineer it does not make YOU an expert it just means they ARE experts. Too many experts on KZread are not experts at all but want money in their pockets for putting out information that most EV owners already know. Money truly IS the root of evil and most of the EV Clowns know this and take advantage of it.

"putting out information that most EV owners already know" Our education content is our highest viewed content. It's viewed by our most diverse audience across many different ages and locations. While it might appear to be common sense to you, many people don't know and are seeking out the content to learn. "Money truly IS the root of evil and most of the EV Clowns know this and take advantage of it." This makes zero sense, since money is required to live and people on the EV Pulse staff like to be able to support their families. This content is brought free to you and others but it comes with costs in money, time, and resources. That comes with every creator on KZread, not just us. As for expertise, the team has been objectively covering the automotive industry their entire careers (with either EV Pulse or other publications). What else do you want?
