Remember Biden guarantees rid of fossil fuels...

As temperatures soar, hot weather can have a significant impact on electric cars ā€” affecting both their range and battery health. We explain why and what you can do about it.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are more prone to overheating than conventional cars for two main reasons. One is that batteries in electric vehicles underperform in hot weather because higher temperatures cause electrons in the battery to move slower, reducing the amount of power available.
The second is that EVs donā€™t rely on a combustion engine to disperse heat. And that lack of an internal combustion engine means there's no efficient way for the battery to cool down, which can cause it to overheat and reduce its range.
HERE estimates that EV range can drop by 15% when temperatures start to go above 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
So avoid traveling long distances during very high temperatures and always try to park your vehicle in the shade.

If the system detects that the battery is getting too hot while charging, it will automatically slow down the rate at which the car charges ā€” this is also known as "thermal throttling".
It may take 3-5 kW of energy to get a 95 degree car to a comfortable temperature, but it takes only around 1 kW to keep it at 70 degrees.

Dumb. Summer cooling of the battery and passenger is achieved in our experimental ev by ventilation at the speed the vehicle is moving. This ventilation also moves fan blades that generate electricity which goes back into the system. duh

Obviously "dummy' you've never heard of this ...
According to Betzā€™s theorem, a wind turbine canā€™t capture more than 59.3% of the energy in the wind. (See Betz: Everything You Need to Know about Wind Turbines Was Written in 1927.) In practice, most modern wind turbines can capture only 40% of the energy in the wind over a very narrow band of wind speeds. Thus, weā€™ve lost about 60% of the energy imparted by the car moving through the air and that the engine had to expend to reach that speed with the wind turbine attached.
