For change I want to report on possibly one of the hottest Zero rides. While most u are freezing we have it nice and about to hot!
Today record heat ever in Sydney Australia with 45.8C /114.44F !  HOT. Aside of many horrible bush fires across the country we have simple a great summer with record hot days

MY Zero 2011S run happily. Found even had loads of battery left after a typical ride.  Let the motor fan running for 3mins till it turned off.

Hope that people realise aspects of global warming are here - undeniable and start riding more EVs!

While 2012 was one of the hottest years on record, it's approximately 1.5C hotter than our first recorded global data in the late 1800s.

Extreme heat (AL had its hottest year on record) means very hot weather + a small amount of temperature rise from global warming - so without global warming you still would have been around 44.3C/111.7F. That's still plenty hot : )

We had temps up around 109/110F in AL. I feel your pain.

Actually global warming produces extremes of heat and cold, dry and wet, and more intense storms, depending what part of the earth you are on. So he might not have experienced that record temperature just minus the 1.5 degrees, it might have been less extreme and not even approach that record high.

I have done some uneventful riding on my DS at my SoCal desert place when the temps were over 100, but not 114+.
