However, Depa is suing the school in civil court, arguing Flagler County Schools did not follow the correct steps in addressing his documented behavioral and mental issues.

Drivers in Chicago found this out the hard way last January after many Teslas failed to charge during a deep freeze. One startup, South 8 Technologies, says it can make cold-weather charging more reliable by filling batteries with a pressurized, liquified gas electrolyte instead of a liquid one.
