I don't know how the cold affects these batteries either. I'm not sitting somewhere and waiting a half hour for a recharge. You would think the technology for all these problems would be worked out 1st. I guess if you want a truck just to drive around you're all set.

It takes steps, some times VERY, VERY, SLOW STEPS to get to a target. So we agree that a next day solution is out there.
Ford, GM, and others are taking "Learning Steps" to make the concept better with each attempt.
So it may never happen in your lifetime. I know on the turbo stuff, we did testing for all vehicles (with oil engineers present)
to survive -40 degree cold starts. Very few have seen -40 degree cold weather except in Alaska/ Canada.
But there were customers who lived in that location.
Just like some live in the desert parts of the USA.
The problem is having a solution to a problem that does not involve Emissions testing. Electric Vehicles does not fit that slot.
High performance gas engine do fit that slot. Be happy you can delay the removal of all high performance engines in the country.
The video was just a example of a guy who wants to make videos for his
benefit, as Stuart mentioned.
