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?
We had a remote start installed in my Toyota Highlander (gas SUV) when we lived in New Jersey. I kept the heat on and the windshield defroster on so when I started the car it heated up pretty quickly. After about 10 minutes in that freezing cold weather, I got into a nice toasty vehicle which was always parked on the driveway.
