Known for its various climates, mostly extreme, India is characterised by scorching summers in plains and freezing winters in the mountains. Decades of testing and proving these conditions with traditional internal combustion engines have yielded great results. But electric vehicles, especially their batteries, can be sensitive to extremes of temperature. With a 5.04 kWh lithium ion battery the ABZO VS01 promises a range of 180 km on a single charge. But what will this performance do in a Rajasthan summer with temperatures over 45°C, or a Ladakh winter with temperatures below zero? Adverse effects to the battery's longevity with constant high temperature and humidity conditions? How does the thermal management system of the VS01 compare to other electric vehicles on the market?
