Electric is still a novelty. Until they can get descent range in a battery that doesn’t catch on fire, they will be nothing more. 100 miles is nice, but I see 200 miles as the holy grail. And that is Minnesota in the dead of winter. And they need a safer battery.
Agree that the safety and backup systems need to be in place for winter places. Anyone thinking of traveling 200 (or even 100) miles in bad weather in MN using a batteries-only car is a dam fool. Stuck in snow? Dead batteries could mean dead you.
