Funny how temperature sensitive these electric cars are. Even when compared with the variations in gas mileage that are seen in conventionally fueled cars. Weather that might cut gas mileage in half will cause an electric car to be able to barely budge.

The Volt has a gas engine.

Hybrids like Volt do better than pure electrics. Pure electrics stink at providing passenger heat (although if the designers were really serious, they would put heat pumps into the design, basically the A/C system working backwards).
