Anybody else concerned about the LFP batteries in the cold New England winters?

What are you concerned about?

What are you concerned about?

Not range so much, charging at sub zero temperatures mostly

I am a little worried. We routinely hit -20 and lower in the winter here.
I have other cars with 4x4 or AWD for snow and extreme cold though.
Everyone has an opinion on how well it will handle the cold, and a select few have actual data. I plan on trying it out, and going from there.
Hell, the way the planet is heating up, before long I will probably have palm trees in my back yard and only nostalgic Snowmobile videos to remind me of winter.

OP, see the State of Charge channel. Or the channel below... Your concerns are valid. You must live in western CT. I lived out near the CT coast for a decade, and our winters were (usually) mild.

The channel above has some videos that directly address LFP performance in cold weather. They are impacted.

Yes, guys thanks for responding. Yeah, I’m in the Litchfield hills. I was concerned hearing about losing the NMC batteries because of this. Nice comment about the palm trees. Also, frozen ND is quite a bit cooler than CT. Thanks for the link.
