From Transport Evolved.

Things got very cold in Chicago recently. Spurred on by some high profile supercharger failures there, but also because of similar problems seen across a variety of brands and charging networks, the news filled with a spate of news stories about how EVs just don’t work in the cold.

But we know that’s not true, so what went wrong?
