e peccato che FALSO sei tu!
la notizia è esagerata (come sembra sia diventato un dovere dei media...) ma NON FALSA, ergo...
Was Oslo paralysed after all of its electric buses broke down due to the cold?
Is it realistic to operate a fleet of electric buses in countries like Norway?
Although the cold does reduce an EV's range and charging speed, Professor Stefanopoulou believes it's all a matter of organisation and planning.
"The buses need to stay plugged in, if possible, early on, before they start the route and stay plugged in overnight. When you do that, the battery can start and operate at this maximum range."
"Then the transit authorities have to either adjust their routes and notify passengers or equip the bus with diesel heaters for these few cold months to make up for the 30% loss in range if they want to maintain a full schedule and their usual routes," explained the battery expert.
But installing diesel engines means going against the zero-emission goal the city of Oslo is striving to achieve by 2024 for all of its public transportation.
Anna Stefanopoulou does admit that the solution is not black and white: "Getting fully decarbonised is not easy and we are working hard on it. But I do think we need to be aware of the improvements while understanding the shortcomings."
