The HARD TRUTH about EVs

The panels were covered with snow LOL. Should have snapped a picture.
Even if they aren't covered with snow there is only like 5 hours of daylight in the winter.
With he sub zero temperatures power companies are requesting people to cut back on their power usage. Shouldn't this include EV owners? They shouldn't be allowed to use the chargers to reduce the load on the power grid. Why should I turn down the thermostat on my furnace so someone can charge their car?
X user Mark Boharichuk took to the platform to claim drivers of EVs, like the new Chevrolet EV, were struggling to charge their cars in the cold. He wrote: "Took my wife into work today for safety's sake. It's -45 this morning.
"Saw a fellow sitting in his EV at a charging station. The businesses were still closed for him to stay warm and dawdle while his car charged. I briefly spoke with him as he went into the store. He said he's been sitting in the car running the heaters and it was taking about twice as long to charge. The car's range was about 280km in the cold he said.
The fellow said his trip to Saskatoon from Kelowna takes about 3 times longer for charging time (sitting time). His charges today were about $100 and two hours of sitting with heaters on and the battery was only 2/3 charged.
"He said he liked his EV, but only in summer. But he said only if it's not too hot, AC drains batteries very fast.
"So, if you live in Canada, and are considering buying an EV, make sure your pockets are deep and you're NEVER on a schedule. I wished him luck. His name was Jack (John) from Kelowna."

Talking head 1: This cold weather is causing problems for Chicagoland owners of electric vehicles.
Talking head 2: Yes, I never thought I'd say this, but it's true.
^Couple of MIT, Rhodes Scholars in Physics right there - lol.

The word “Truck” means nothing anymore.
And died there.......... Careful with that smell, if you go used FagCar shopping.
Hell, that may be the most truck thing about it
Stopping every 100miles??
Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold: 'A bunch of dead robots out here' Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold: 'A bunch of dead robots out here'

Feds Already Investigating The New Fisker Ocean EV Over A Potential Braking Issue | Carscoops
Customers complain that they lose regenerative braking when driving over bumpy roads, and that's just the start of the braking system issues

That's obviously extreme, but the joke was that trucks aren't known for getting good fuel mileage.
And the cold weather charging issues continue! Laughable, but they paint a dark future should this nonsense continue on course.

Winter weather presenting EV owners with 'frustrating' challenges
Electric vehicle drivers shared their frustrations after winter weather across the U.S. created new issues for charging and operating their cars.
Where is the 5 ton that tows you back, from the middle of a desert?

Sucks for them. Mini-Ice age coming. In true climate-prediction-cultitis form. It was forecast, so it MUST be true.
Mini ice age could bring freezing temperatures by 2030
A mini ice age could hit the Earth in the 2030s, the first such event to occur since the early 1700s
