SAN DIEGO (January, 2024) – Arctic cold conditions in the US Midwest have caused news media to write EV obituaries. Conventional Lithium-ion batteries use a liquid electrolyte that freeze at -20°C (-4°F). But there’s already a better way.
South 8’s Arctic™ LiGas® battery electrolyte for advanced Lithium-ion batteries retains 80% of its energy capacity at -40°C (-40°F).
