Thats a design issue, not an EV issue. There are heating/cooling systems built-in to keep the batteries within a good temperature range, and what happened in Norway stretched it beyond what the temperature regulation system was rated for.
Here's something that happened to my friend recently in an EV driving in the heavy DMV ( DC, Maryland, Vaginia) highway traffic a few weeks ago in below freezing weather. The dash of her EV lit up, and she had 10 SECONDS to get to the side of the road before the car shut off.
The car shit down before it was safely in the side of the road with no power at all. That means no hazards, no heat, and if she had chosen to wait for AAA she would have been there until morning. The car is already back in the shop, again.
We know cold bad is for electronics, and batteries. EV' s need to removed for laws forcing them to be made and purchased. We need to get louder with our representatives.
From the article: they had 183 new EV busses delivered in April. The cold affected 140 departures (meaning busses, not people). I suspect the other 43 new busses were down for scheduled maintenance.
It would be nice to get some real reporting on how many EV busses they were able to operate in the cold.
So what's your point? If they were all EVs then it would have been completely paralyzed instead of just partially and no doubt ruining the commutes and other transportation of many people (if you've ever lived in a major city you've seen this with other outages). Oh man you really got them on that one!
how cold does it have to be to run out of jews?

There are thousands of departures per day in Oslo.

Yeah, the article is shy on numbers.
Because they are trying to sell a specific, anti EV narrative:
That's just a fucking lie.
Lithium-ion batteries perform quite poorly at extreme temperatures
Sure.
Yet, public transport in Oslo wasn't paralyzed as this article claims.

The point is that contrary to what the article claims, Oslo's public transport wasn't paralyzed.
Do facts not matter to you?
