Hi everyone, 

What is lowest temperature for YC hybrid 2023? 

Would it be operational at temperatures like -20 Celsius?

Regards

Hi
When you start from cold the car will start the engine to warm up and to provide heating to the cabin. All you can do is to make sure you have your heating ON and cabin temperature set at least 20C° or preferably at 22C°  with ac ON and in Auto mode  all year around. For engine coolant temperature don’t worry, the car can work at any temperature and even if you well below middle of your gauge readings it’s still ok for your engine.

If the 12v Battery is charged (so it provides enough power in that temperature) it should be fine with other components, the HV Battery has much more power than it requires to start the petrol engine and Li-Ion cells inside are less affected by the cold than older NiMH ones
