this is why

Don’t Renogy and Relion (and probably others) make self heating Li batteries?

I realize that’s going to either use some energy from the battery itself, or from the charger, but the technology to use Li’s in extreme cold exists.

Do all the EV’s sold in the Great White North come with SiO2 battery packs?

:):)

no,SIO2 is a very nich market and in reality more suited for back up batteries in remote pumphouses where if they go dead becasue the charger quit working they can charge them up and hope there not dead because this has happened to many times. a normal lead acid would need to be replaced every time. to show how nich they are I think in westren canada there is only one physical dealer that carries them. I may be right but every time I look asmuth solar is the only place that comes up, hence why Painotuna needs to come to BC to buy his batteries.
