The battery should be insulated and use a tiny amount of power to keep from freezing. Like how a water heater uses 50 watts to stay +70 F.

But then you have the opposite problem in the summer, where you created an oven for the battery to cook to death under the sun. Worse case scenario, you trigger a fire with the trapped heat.

About the only good conditions for EVs to drive in are climate-controlled labs set at 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

To be frank, I don't think EVs are good tech, and they sure as hell aren't The Future™. But they're a solution in search of a government-made problem, and by God the government is going to solve it.
