So far I have seen this story about Chicago only. Surely it is happening elsewhere? Duluth was like -9 and a lot of places are freezing cold. There must be tales to tell.
Anyone know?
I have been looking for those stories as well.
Dallas was as low as ten degrees this morning—had to be some stuck commuters there.
I’m in Denver and it has dropped to -10 degrees here the last few says. There are Teslas everywhere here and I haven’t seen or heard of this happening here. Also my nephew drove his EV Polestar from Denver to SLC on Saturday and had no problem with range or charging.
We were down only to around 0 to 10°F the past few days but I noticed an absolute paucity of EVs even in a shopping plaza parking lot that normally is full of them (well, 10% or so). When it warms up to the 40s next week I’m sure they’ll be back. Seems the preheating scenario isn’t appealing to the owners, nearly all of whom will also have an ICE vehicle.
