Volvo Electric 4-Seater Concept - 1976 by Perico001 Via Flickr: During the 1970s, Volvo built a number of experimental vehicles, among them two electric cars. One of these was a 2-seater delivery van, the other was this 4-seater. They were tested in Göteborg. Recently, the Volvo ECM3 hybrid car has shown that a better solution may be a combination of an internal combustion engine and batteries. Vmax : 70 km/h Range : 2 hours ca. 1.000 kg Volvo Museum Arendals Skans 405 08 Göteborg Sweden July 2012

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

As cold weather sweeps across the U.S., some electric vehicle owners are learning a bitter truth: Low temperatures can stop the cars dead in their icy tracks.

The issue crystallized this week when some Tesla owners in Chicago discovered their EVs' batteries had died in sub-zero temperatures. Drivers also said some of Tesla charging stations weren't working, or if they did work that the stations were taking longer than usual to charge up their vehicles.

“I've been here for over five hours at this point, and I still have not gotten to charge my car,” Tesla driver Brandon Welbourne told CBS Chicago. “A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours.”

What happens to electric vehicles in cold weather?

Here's what to know.

Electric vehicles are less efficient in cold weather, with Recurrent's research finding that below-freezing temperatures reduced driving range up to 30% on 18 popular EV models.

An EV with a 200 to 215 mile range may only go 150 to 175 miles in the cold, Recurrent's Case said, while noting even that reduced mileage is often sufficient for most drivers. “The average person with an EV drives 30 miles a day,” he said.

Still, a shorter range in cold weather could be an issue for some owners if their EV runs out of juice miles earlier than expected, potentially leaving to hunt for an available charger or, worse, stranded in dangerously frigid conditions.

The ID.XTREME EV concept paves the way for compact electric off-roaders

While there are many reasons to get behind electric cars, one often overlooked aspect is their off-roading capabilities. Credit social media Over the years, we’ve slowly come to realize that you get the relentless torque of a battery-based car coupled with a beast; Low-end grunt to get you off low-traction surfaces. Hence, it is not surprising to see many car-makers working on the idea of…
