The EV experts suggest that charging your ride in cold weather can shorten its life span and even hurt it, especially if the ride is parked out in the open. Thus, the ideal way to charge your ride in cold weather is to drive it around to warm it up and then do the charging. Charging your EV from a frozen state is not the best decision. However, several EVs like Tesla models, Chevy Volt, and Jaguar I-PACE automatically heat or cool the battery to ensure its temperature is all good for safe charging.
