Ariel E-Nomad Concept, 2024. The Somerset-based specialist car maker have revealed a prototype electric version of their Nomad off-road buggy. Last year Ariel received funding from the Niche Vehicle Network (NVN) and Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) to construct the Nomad EV. It features a 41kWh battery sending power to a 210kW rear motor, producing 281bhp and a 150-mile range. The bodywork uses natural flax fibres, developed by Bamd Composites helping to keep the weight of the battery-powered Nomad to 896kg. Ariel hope to have a production version ready by 2026

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.
