All it took was one cold January and my next-door ditched his Tesla and is now driving a new, sporty F-150. Gasoline version.

Going for drive through the Mojave Desert or Death Valley in the summer in an EV could get you killed

Range gets seriously cut due to air conditioning power draws to keep cool and if you get stranded in the middle of the desert in 120 deg heat you could literally die

Thermodynamics has always been the hardest engineering discipline for even very bright engineers to grasp so even very few engineers really fully understand the demands and challenges of the electric car and green economy implementation

“one cold January”

Cold winters are kryptonite to electric vehicles.

Northern cities buying electric buses are going to have to learn the hard way.
