We seem to be hearing that although the OEM's are taking pains to cool the battery packs however perhaps the designers forgot that too cold is also detrimental and maintaining a minimum temperature in the cool parts of the world is important also, just as Diesel truck builders offer an integrated temperature maintaining engine heating devices for extreme climates in the near artic we need automatic heaters for out battery packs to warm them before during and after recharge and insulation to keep them warm in driving, not just cooling systems although those are needed also, These need not be fair weather vehicles, not like Golf carts. All weather service is our demand!
