During my years living in Alaska I learned that there are no machines that work well when the temps get around -25*F or colder. The first winter I spent in Fairbanks it was -55*F for several days. A vehicle had to be running 24/7 because if it stopped it wouldn’t start again unless covered with a heavy insulated tarp and running a Reddi-heater under the engine for 2-3 hours. My friend’s brand new Suburban would develop flat spots in the tires that would take about a mile to round out again. It takes a lot of work and expense to live in a climate like that! I doubt if there are many electric vehicles in Alaska but there are leftard fools everywhere so its possible.
The following may be true or not, I can’t say.
When the Alaska pipeline was being built, a guy wanted to get a job helping build it. So he took an airliner up that way.
He deplaned with his business suit in one of those thick plastic bags, holding it up by the clothes hanger attachment.
When he stepped out of the plane, the shock of the cold was severe and he dropped his suit bag onto the tarmac. It broke. He took the next flight back home.
My rule of thumb has long been that once the temperature drops below -20 F, life in Iowa will get complicated. So much that we take for granted either fails completely or works marginally.
How a car parked outside is going to keep a charge in "Russian Front" conditions (when I can barely keep a good LED flashlight going) is a mystery to me. I have no desire to change from the gasoline-fueled IC engine at present. For the past seven years, I have run synthetic motor oil in my daily driver and I keep the block heater plugged in at night. In that time, only once have I had it fail to start, and the culprit was part of the keyless system.
