The vehicles use a gas turbine backup engine if the battery runs out.

Cold weather? The units I’ve seen have battery warmers (pads that look like heating pads) that turn on around 55 F.

Severe thunderstorms? Haven’t asked or investigated.

Still not sold on the concept, however, until range/battery issues are improved significantly.

Of course, if it helps me get dates, I am all over it. But EVs just don’t fill that bill.
