Ps: yes, electric vehicles have slightly less range in the cold but I love the convenience of turning on my electric heat and heated seats and heated steering wheel 3 minutes before I enter my car when it's 15 degrees outside. Nice & toasty when I get in. One of the benefits of an EV that you can't do in an ICE car.
Pss: I respect that EVs won't work for some people and some people don't like change but for the life of me I don't understand the bashing?
Bashing? Merely pointing out disadvantages is only "bashing" if you're married to your point of view. Every coin has two sides.

The majority of posts here seem to recognize that EVs make more or less sense depending on one's location and circumstances. But what is mostly unspoken, though at times implied) is the fear that we as a nation will be forced into accepting EVs over ICE vehicles even though economically in many (most?) instances such a move would pose a hardship for many, many of which have been pointed out here, as has been the case in other nations.
