Don't Park Your EV Outside in Winter

So in Canada, you can't own an EV if you don't own a garage. At least not this brand. EV Lemon: Canadian Man Prevails in Arbitration After Lucid Tells Him He Can't Park His Car Outside in Winter

So you can't park your car outside in winter. Can you leave it parked outside at work for 8 or 10 hours? Or does that need to be parked inside? What about parking at the airport?

The Canadian owner of a 2024 Lucid Air Pure has prevailed in a lemon law arbitration case that compelled Lucid to cancel his lease and reclaim the vehicle approximately 18 months into a four-year agreement. Among many issues with the EV, the company told him he can’t park an EV outside in the wintertime and expect it to function properly.

When a manufacturer loses in arbitration, you know they are doing something wrong. Click thru for the details. But I will leave you with this.

According to his account, the company’s lawyers advanced arguments that left both him and the arbitrator speechless.

Some of the things stated, aside from the cold weather issues, are problems with the assisted driving system turning into oncoming traffic, and trim falling off.

  1. I should have noted this in the post... the reason we are getting a story about EVs not working in Canada's winter weather is that the case just completed arbitration.
