“They need to make sure only electric vehicles can be used in Northern Virginia and DC.”

EV cars work perfectly well in Iceland and Finland, what you say makes no sense.

An ev battery can keep a seat heater running for weeks

Considering how much lower battery output is in cold weather, that seems hard to believe. The range is significantly shorter in cold environments.

Your post makes no sense. It has absolutely nothing to do with my post.

Yeah, I’ve been fighting this fight for a while.

Electricity produces heat VERY well. In fact, it’s hard to stop it from doing so.

Tesla engineers are well aware that batteries don’t like cold. They stay warm. They stay cool. Teslas are also very good maintaining battery conditions - it’s one of the keys to it’s superiority over other EVs.

I have no problem with EVs and in fact, I would love a model X. The problem I have with it is that, like so many things, are politicized to a point where I lose interest.

But I drive a Subaru and have to deal with that cult everyday so I may be getting used to it.

Finlanders eat lukefisk too but that doesn't mean I should.

You think a 200 unit apartment complex is going to install 300 charging stations throughout its parking lot for its renters?

Sorry but there is absolutely no logical reason why we should be forced to purchase electric vehicles.
