The lifespan of electric cars is shorter in cold weather due to how they rely on only electricity for their power. This means that their batteries have to keep working to keep the vehicle running, and they also have to keep the cabin warm. On the other hand, gas-powered vehicles can use their engines to warm their occupants.
In addition to powering the vehicle, the battery also has to keep the passengers warm. Colder temperatures can slow down the battery's physical and chemical reactions, and it can take longer to fully recharge an electric car's battery compared to when it's warm.

An electric vehicle can be operated in eco-mode, which will direct its energy to where it is needed the most. Also, covering the vehicle when it is parked can keep it warm.
Due to the limitations of electric cars' driving range, several Tesla owners from California have sued the company. They claim that it had engaged in unfair competition and violated their vehicle warranties by making false claims about its products' driving capabilities.
