Things got very cold in Chicago recently. Spurred on by some high profile supercharger failures there, but also because of similar problems seen across a variety of brands and charging networks, the news filled with a spate of news stories about how EVs just don't work in the cold.

But we know that's not true, so what went wrong?

00:00 - Introduction 01:35 - What's the news been saying? 02:51 - But EVs work in other countries in the cold... 05:30 - What caused the failures 12:40 - Most likely, it was more than one problem 13:52 - How can you avoid problems? 17:34 - Thanks and Credits
