Electric Vehicles

damage if not stored correctly.
Batteries are the most critical and most
expensive component of an electric car.
Fully charged batteries will not freeze.
Low charged batteries could freeze and
crack. Batteries would need replacement.
The car's on-board computer (OBC) operates
the charger, it continually takes battery readings and
then talks to the charger telling it what kind of charge and
how long to charge the batteries. The OBC
only allows the charger to cycle a specific number of times
before it will not allow it to come
on again. After that time, the computer will begin to
discharge the batteries by continuing to take
battery readings causing possible battery freeze and
cracking
