I'm going to assume you do not have an EV. Please confirm yes or no......
After saying that it appears the purpose of this post is to bash something you do not have. Y'all seem to put a lot of effort into hating things you don't have.

All vehicles have diminished capabilities in cold weather. In most states they blend the fuel in the winter and that blend creates less BTUs which gives you poor gas mileage. I have an EV and I can tell you that yes it does not perform as well in the winter as it does in the summer. You made a comment about the vehicles not performing well in the summer. That is not the truth! My EV performs just as good at 90° as it does at 70°. The issues with EV's in the winter amounts to nothing more than a slight inconvenience and no worse than the inconvenience I have with my gas vehicle.
