I think the point is that lowering the ambient temperature causes chemical reactions to proceed more slowly, so a battery used at a low temperature produces less current than at a higher temperature. As cold batteries run down they quickly reach the point where they cannot deliver enough current to keep up with the demand.
The point is kind of mot when the battery is 400 volts and 1000 horsepower at full temp, you aren't using that sitting still. They heat up just like engines and have enough piwer to sit in traffic all week. Most gas cars will run out before the battery is out of charge.
I don't think he was sitting still in a snowstorm will 100 kwh of power. Tell yourself to do the math. How many days will your house run on that? Now suntract a few dozen lights, a refrigerator and microwave, et cetera. Its pretty simple math.
I doubt a motorcycle has a battery that weighs 3000 pounds. Thats not going to be the same.
He sounds like a suicidal smug Hollywood stereotype for trying that stunt.
Wouldn't want to run out of gas either, but I will take my chances with internal combustion anytime.
