The question to ask if someone has a discussion about the merits of electric vehicles.
Would you put a loved one in a EV or conventional vehicle to travel in a snowstorm or other inclement weather?
It depends on the EV. Consider that most trains these days are actually hybrids and therefore a form of EV.
Sticking them in a Fiat 500e, on the other hand... only if you *really* hate them.
