Or is it because the gasoline industry pays for PR to stigmatize alternate energy sources and people choose to believe these pundits - unreliable sources that basically spew garbage? Or is it because some people somehow equate EV's with climate change, and again, disregarding science, they are climate change deniers? Whatever the reason, these people are haters and have an agenda. Good luck with that, EV's are here to stay, which shouldn't be a problem. You can still have your gasoline powered car, there is no reason the two can't co-exist. Enough already.
I started this thread and was genuinely surprised to find out that EVs have a difficult time in cold weather. I guess I've been living under a rock because I had never heard of that before. I saw a segment on the news and that was the first time I found out the problems with EVs with weather extremes.

As an aside, I have an electric golf cart and I love it.
