We are swapping kids EV for our 7 person suv for the summer will see how TV heat effects the EV batteries.

Makes total sense. In Texas, our batteries wore out fast but in Las Vegas, the heat just sucked them up through a sippy straw. Once, and the last time that happened was on a highway off ramp in 108 degrees in a gas car. Literally Uncool. Car went dead! It was old-2006 til 2019 RIP
