I’m so sorry to hear about your trip! I get it about green energy. Here’s the honest truth though. You are talking about Vermont and Fall!

Heaters in electric cars run off of electricity using resisters or heat pumps. They can drain an electric vehicle battery fairly quickly. We had 2 Teslas and in the winter they lasted a little over half as long as when we drove them in the summer months. The G 80 did the best, it could do about 3/4 what it was able to do in the summer in the best of conditions.

Next trip, I would consider being more pragmatic and just getting the more portable eco friendly gas powered car for the week. Zero worries that way.
