Is this considered news? Anyone who has ever lived in a cold location knows this.
I remember in New Hampshire at night leaving my car idling outside a place for a long time because I was afraid it wouldn't start in 20 below zero temperature.
Batteries also don't like extreme heat evidently.
It's too bad natural gas cars didn't become more popular; we have about 200 years worth of the stuff just under the USA.
