Just out of curiosity, did you own an EV BEFORE you retired and drove it every day to your place of employment? Were you able to charge it at your place of employment or did it have enough charge to travel round trip? Did you drive it in the frigid cold and snow in Minnesota? The point of the subject was that EVs have reduced performance in cold weather. Did you get as good performance in the winter as you did in the Spring and Summer? You mentioned that your worked just fine for four years, but details do matter.
