Two items to contribute. 1) I was reminded recently that ‘fast charging’ a battery diminishes the life and performance of the battery. Trickle charge keeps batteries functioning longer. 2) On a very hot day, I can run my car’s air conditioner all day, I just have to get gas every 500 miles or so. Not so with EV. I once witnessed a clear demonstration of the EV downside in very hot weather. We were in La Quinta and this Tesla was driving very fast with ALL the windows down. It was 120 degrees outside, but this Tesla could not risk turning on the AC, it takes too much power, and the Tesla would have run out of energy. I imagine a similar scenario in snow country, only then the Tesla driver could not ‘afford’ to run the heater. God bless hydrocarbons! We can literally pour energy into our vehicles!
I see often Teslas operate in two modes.
Instant torque so they aggfessively dart thru traffic.
And running out of juice, doing 40 mph in the slow lane of the interstate.
