"Longest Range Electric Cars, Trucks, And SUVs Available Now"

How about Wide Temperature Range Cars, Trucks, and SUV's?

Will those EV's still operate below 32 degress?

That picture of the Electric Ford F-150 in the snow is laughable

The newer ones have heating and cooling systems for the batteries to help with extreme temperature ranges. The good is it helps with the problem you stated. The bad is it’s more of a drain on the battery (part of the math to think about if you live up north before getting an EV).

I saw a first hand report on that one. The answer is yes. The guy actually stayed for hours in the car and braved the cold to see how it performed. I was surprised.

Why? It will be there until the snow melts and they can tow it to a charging station....

My question would be "Do they still operate at minus 20 degrees?", as happens with some regularity up here.
