“Ditto what you said. On a cold day in Wyoming this thing will be stuck in the garage.”


Sheese!

I live in Montana in a smallish town — we have ALOT of Teslas, Rivian’s, and other assorted EV’s (Lucid, VW, Kia, etc.). Every day I see at least four Teslas on the road plus several others...

A month ago it was 95 degrees cooler outside than it was inside the house (-35), there were electric vehicles driving around without issue (the problem comes when you try to charge them at such a low temperature — the folks who have these vehicles have garages and inside chargers).

Do I have an EV? NO!

Do I want an EV? NO!

I DO believe in the truth however.

Not many people can afford an insulated garage, much less pay to keep it heated.

Assuming they have a reasonable controller you can't because if you could it would ruin the battery.
