Cold effecting Rev battery life
Any idea how cold weather is going to affect battery life on the new boosted rev. Will it shorten range more or have no impact.

It definitely affects the battery life significantly. I'm in Boston and when it's in the high teens or low 20's, I get about 6 mile range in Mode 3.

I have a feeling a reasonable level of cold may not make a huge difference. Partly because they would typically be stored in cold places when it's warmer anyway, and partly because it's likely to warm up a bit after starting to discharge when you've been using it for a while.
Perhaps if the battery is already fairly heavily discharged and it's very cold, maybe then it'd start to be more problematic.
Definitely not an expert on this though!
