It's only a means of transportation under optimal conditions.
Lived in the Chicago area for a year right after we left FSU. We had to have a dip stick heater to keep the oil warm at night Serious pain in the arse. That being said those folks do know how to drive in the snow.
If your car is dead it doesn’t matter how well you drive. Any car is a pain in the cold but an EV is another level.
True, but if we don't go electric, how will we stop the world from ending?
Driving in snow is easy, it's trying to drive on a sheet of ice that folks can't do, including folks in snow country.
Running out of gas is a mistake on the user. EV problems are a flaw on a false national narrative toting them being the future of transportation.
Cruising along on the road, your gas mileage doesn't just drop in half.
Sure, but that's not the point. In a gas car if it tells you there are 400 miles to empty that's pretty constant barring a punctured gas tank. And its doesn't change that much based on your speed, wind ect... With a EV your range can change based on a number of factors including temperature and not by a few miles but like Gary said in half. With that said if your range changes in a gas car you stop for gas. In an EV if your range changes you find a charging point nearest you which if you're traveling isn't simple and hope it works based on many other factors like weather.
