How does cold weather affect electric vehicles?
The lithium-ion cells found in most electric vehicle battery packs use a chemical reaction to store and release energy. Each has positive (cathode) and negative (anode) terminals, with a separator and liquid electrolyte to control the flow of electrically charged particles (called ‘ions’) between them. Charging moves the lithium-ions from the cathode to the anode and discharging (while driving) moves them back the other way.
