Don't go in the cold? There's a significant number of EVs on the road around here and we get a stint of minus 40° nearly every winter. Night time lows in the minus 30°s are downright common. Yet inevitably, there they are still beside me in traffic. Admittedly, they need to be plugged in to keep the battery conditioner going if they're parked outside in that weather but my ICE cars aren't real happy without the block heater plugged in either. My kid's band teacher and a couple of my coworkers have Teslas and have never missed a day because their car wouldn't fire up.Thinking about this. Strikes me a bit funny. Even though it’s below zero and the roads are covered with snow and ice I can throw studded tires on my Mustang and safely drive to town and back. Studs on all four corners and I can play sloppy-slide a little bit for fun. There are a couple Teslas in town. They are frozen in place or sleeping in a garage because they don’t go in the cold. There are no Mach E or electric pickups running around here either.
I'm no EV fan boy and I don't buy the narrative that they're the solution to all our problems but why make up reasons to hate them when so many legitimate reasons exist?
