What’s the deal with keys for EVs not working in cold weather? Is it a key problem or a car problem?

1404

is that a keyfob issue or an EV issue? I cant say I’ve ever heard of it being a problem with EVs though.

1405

keys?

Thats what I was wondering. Someone was stuck outside the creche yesterday locked out of his ID4 and the keyfob wouldn’t unlock the car. He’d replaced the batteries in it a few days ago so it wasn’t a fob issue he thought. But I thought I saw something on another thread here about fobs not working in extreme cold.

Would -1 be considered extreme cold?

The average January temperature in Wolfsburg, where VWs are built, is 1.5 degrees so maybe -1 is extreme for them

Norway gets a bit cold anyway and they like their EVs there.
