I can't speak for a modern subaru, but I've not owned a single ICE vehicle that would work in this scenario. The battery would be dead. An electric one has the option to be plugged in and avoid the problem. Just because we haven't put the infrastructure in place for it doesn't mean we can't. We should do so, just like we did for gasoline.
- Ajedi32 2y ago??? What kind of clunkers have you been using that lose charge on the 12 volt after just 3 days in the cold? I've occasionally left my ICE car out in the cold for a week without using it and it never once even crossed my mind to worry about whether it would start after that; I've never had that issue on any car built in the last 15 years.

- vitaflo 2y agoIf your ICE car battery was dead after sitting a week in the cold you had a bad battery. I drive my car once every couple weeks and it regularly gets to -20 here in the winter and have never had an issue because the battery in my ICE vehicle is good.
