"Electric vehicles have long been touted as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gas-guzzlers, but how do they hold up in extreme temperatures? A new study by AAA sheds light on the performance of hybrid vehicles in hot and cold weather, building on their 2019 research that focused solely on electric vehicles. The results of this latest investigation could have significant implications for drivers who live in areas with harsh climates, and may even sway the decision-making process for those considering a hybrid vehicle for their next purchase. With the growing popularity of hybrid cars, it's essential to understand how they handle the demands of different weather conditions."


In 2019, AAA studied the effects of hot and cold weather only on EVs. This year, the group tested hybrids for the first time.
