"Electric Vehicles' Rivals Get Put to the Test: AAA's Latest Study Sheds Light on Hybrid Performance in Extreme Weather Conditions In a move that's sure to spark debate among car enthusiasts, the American Automobile Association (AAA) has expanded its research on the effects of extreme weather on electric vehicles to include hybrid models for the first time. Building on its 2019 study, which focused solely on electric vehicles, the group's latest findings offer a more comprehensive understanding of how different types of eco-friendly vehicles perform in scorching heat and freezing cold. With the growing popularity of hybrid vehicles, AAA's research aims to provide consumers with valuable insights into their reliability and efficiency in various weather conditions, helping them make informed decisions when shopping for their next ride. Will the results show hybrids to be a worthy competitor to their electric counterparts, or will they fall short in the face of extreme temperatures?"
In 2019, AAA studied the effects of hot and cold weather only on EVs. This year, the group tested hybrids for the first time.
