Electic Vehicles poor performance in the cold weather
Electric vehicles are losing their charge in the cold weather. They also have diminished performance in hot weather. Watching the news, these EVs look abysmal for cold weather climates.

The three top users of EVs in Europe are Norway, Iceland, and Sweden - not particularly temperate climates. Maybe we, either individual owners or the country as a whole, are doing it wrong.

Perhaps they need an ad like ASPA showing all the freezing animals that need only $19/month to save more freezing animals. Those poor freezing Teslas crowded around their defunct charging stations. Looks like we need more global warming so the animals can live and EVs can survive. |

Personally, I'm not planning on buying a solar powered snowcat
anytime soon. |

Three kids all have one EV
one in St Paul, heated garage, because it’s ST Paul, EV no issues winter or summer, second car is a Benz. One in MI heated garage, EV lives among the 4 Rovers, no issues winter or summer One in Louisville, EV and a Beemer, share AC garage No issues using Ev winter or summer, but AC could extend batteries. All drive less than 10 miles to work, but may return multiple times in 24 hour. EV traded in before batteries need replacement. But they are diehard EV users, and will replace with same.

During cold weather the cars heater chews up the battery charge rapidly. Not a problem for those leaving their garage fully charged for a short commute, but major issues otherwise. Remembering all the EV’s that got stranded on I 95 between Fredericksburg and Richmond three winters ago when snow/ice shut down the highway overnight and keeping warm depleted the batteries.

ie https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news...ns/ar-AA1n5nRs It does happen and owners just have to be alert. Otherwise, you get to experience problems like those in Chicago. Just like internal combustion engines, all have some limitations that users must consider. Fuel supply, availability, reliability. That goes for ICE or EV autos. The availability issue is more acute for EVs at this time due to limited availability sources. The problem is enhanced for EVs in frigid weather or power outages. You just have to allow for it, and consider alternatives. |

My permanent home is located squarely in the Lake Erie snowbelt. Our neighbor has two Teslas and never has a problem with cold weather AND both his EV's are parked & charged outside in their driveway, unprotected from the cold & snow right in the open. All you people who for whatever reason hate EV's & especially Tesla need to find something that is actually important to comment on. No one is being forced to buy an EV. You are still free to buy a gas or diesel powered vehicle.

My source is my very reliable and trustworthy neighbor who was stuck in the middle of the whole fiasco and witnessed it first hand. That’s more than good enough for me, and way better than trusting the national media’s biased reporting (or lack there of).
