Canada and Norway will soon ban ICE cars, despite the negative effects of cold weather on batteries.
announced this week it will ban the sale of new internal combustion engine cars and light-duty trucks by 2035 as part of its efforts to fight climate change, aCanada joins a growing list of countries banning the fuel-guzzling vehicles, with Britain saying it will ban ICE vehicles by 2030, and Norway — another country with extremely cold winters — having announced it will do the same as early as 2025.
In a world where electric vehicle ranges are still a long way off from allowing the same accessibility as ICE vehicles, the effects of low temperatures might make the transition to electric vehicles harder., the average EV range fell by 12 percent when the car's heater was not turned on. However, by turning the heater on while driving, that range dropped by 41 percent.
The reason behind this is that EVs use energy to heat the battery coolant to prevent it from freezing in cold weather, as well as for heating the passenger cabin.While internal combustion engines generate their own heat while working, EVs need to generate that heat elsewhere in cold temperatures, typically by using the battery thermal management system.
That study found that, when an EV battery was charged at 77 degrees F , a DC fast charger could get a battery to an 80 percent charge in 30 minutes. At 32 degrees F , however, the battery's charge was 36 percent lower after the same time period.
