It doesn't take a large battery to be a problem.

There's no starter. Mine was warm and ready when I left at 6:30am this morning. Even had regen.
When I had to go into the office I put on maybe 18K miles per year among all vehicles. We stay around home mostly. I work from home now. So no daily commute.
I put few enough miles on my truck that I only change the oil once per year just to have new oil in it. One vehicle is more for fun, so that doesn't get driven as much. We put maybe 5K miles per year on the daily driver. And only that much because we live ~10 miles from every reason we have to drive.
Still I think we drive our cars far less than the average. So yeah, I think 2000 miles per year is an outlier. But if everything were much closer to us, we might come close to that.
I store my e-bike battery in the house because of the temperature extremes in the garage. I am concerned about such things. I've thought about getting something to contain it. I don't think that's practical.It doesn't take a large battery to be a problem.

Efficiency was crap, and tires were 7 psi lower than normal. As expected
That's great!
Would you be concerned if you needed to charge your car for a longer trip in sub zero temps?

Seriously, if battery is preheated before charging, it accepts charge fine.
Here’s my stats from a home trickle last night in the cold. 79% efficiency (which is lowest I’ve ever had in past 5 winters)

I'm curious to see how the battery is in 10 years after daily use and charging in these temps. Something tells me it won't be like an ICE vehicle, still going strong...

Yea, My degradation is worse than average probably due to parking in weather and higher mileage (25k-30k/ yr). Warranty is 8 years.
How about that fire blanket they were talking about earlier?
Several companies offer lithium ion charging bags. Like a soft-sided cooler but explosion/fire proof. I store RC and my motorcycle battery in one.
This seems to be happening everywhere.

This is the result when children are given the reins of control. I would anticipate many branches of government grinding to a halt in the next generation or two.
Partly voters don't choose well, but also the choices leave a lot to be desired.
213 charge cycles - how long have you had it?
We bought a fire proof bag for storing cash inside a fireproof gun safe. Just to be on the safe side…..
It was less than $30.00, maybe that could work for an e bike battery?? Not sure what it’s made of.
Yep, funny their Union BS is undoing their EV charger wet dream…
“Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the DCNF that federal regulations pertaining to the specific parameters of the installation sites must be met before the projects can be finished, adding on bureaucratic red tape. Additionally, the government’s insistence on dedicating resources to certain constituencies that would bolster the current administration’s election prospects has created limits on procuring those assets.”
“This is a central planning snarl-up,” Lewis told the DCNF. “The subsidies exceed the scale of market demand. States complain of inflexible requirements regarding how far apart charging stations must be, how many charge ports must be built per station, and how many must be located in disadvantaged communities. In addition, central planning and politics are joined at the hip, so workforces must be certified by unions, and materials such as iron and steel must be sourced from American companies.”
“The EV charger rollout carries a number of restrictions, stalling progress on their installation.”

By Will Kessler The Biden administration has designated billions of taxpayer dollars to build electric vehicle (EV) chargers, but lagging market demand and government red tape are getting in the way, according to experts who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Federal Highway...
