Electric vehicles can not function in Northern States during winter.
The batteries are drained quickly in low temps and in far Northern locations, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, both Dakotas, Minnesota temps can get well below zero for weeks during mid winter.
This is a recipe for disaster. Not just for owners of these vehicles.
Ford will want a bail out when sales fall and fail.
All the testing I have seen stops the test when the temperature gets down to twenty degrees.
Too bad northern winters don’t stop at that temperature.

Tesla batteries are heated to nominal temperatures.
