Lithium-ion batteries—the most common cells used in electric and hybrid cars—produce current when lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode. Colder temperatures can slow this process down and restrict battery performance. When a battery is delivering peak output in hot weather, latent defects in the battery can cause catastrophic failure.
