This could be a good thing, actually. I believe most electric cars already have cooling and heating systems for their batteries. If you don't have to cool it as much, then you don't spend that battery life.

That's a fair point - if they manage to make an energy-neutral or energy-cheap heating system, it may just take off (though I still feel like the temperature it operates at is insane - there will still need to be insulation for the user's sake). Now we just have to see if it will deliver the promised performance.
