Sucks for them. Mini-Ice age coming. In true climate-prediction-cultitis form. It was forecast, so it MUST be true.


100% Agree.

From the article:

^Wait, what? "Such events are in no way linked to climate change." LOL

What they are really saying is, "This event doesn't meet our narrative, so we decided it can't be called climate change."

Then...

^Another "Wait, what?"
They mean that same change that occurred 370 years ago can't be called random variation during the 4.5 billion years that the earth has been in existence?

Articles starting to pop up claiming all the people in Chicago who had trouble charging their Tesla's were fake because everyone knows how easy it is to charge a Tesla in winter.

So, Tesla had to release a new door handle app to help people get into their frozen cars. Tesla ball washers exclaim what a great company Tesla is for helping people get into their cars. LOL.

How does watching all those Chicago Tesla owners freeze their ass off for hours/days trying to get a charge not affect EV sales anywhere it gets cold in the USA? Or better yet, being told not to buy an EV if you don't have a heated garage!?!

I'm sure it DOES! There are tons of EVs unsold and sitting on dealer lots. There's a reason for that. The majority haven't bought into it full-well knowing the downsides at this point. Especially in the northern parts of the country.

A collaborative effort between Volvo CE, Rolls-Royce, and Air Burners, the BioCharger uses “air curtain technology” to burn wood and waste in a closed-loop system. The resulting heat is converted into electric energy and stored in a connected Battery Storage Module, or BSM. That energy can then be used to charge battery-electric vehicles, construction equipment, and portable power tools throughout the job site.

If you have an unheated garage and put an EV in it, just a matter of time before you will have a heated garage. (temporarily anyway)

It is funny that EV owners say this has been a harsh winter, it has actually been a mild one. Wait until we get a real winter that starts in OCT and goes until APR like 2014-15.

In other news...
Consumer Reports’ latest annual car reliability survey shows that electric vehicles, on average, are less reliable than gas-powered vehicles or hybrids. Based on owner responses for more than 330,000 vehicles, the survey found that EVs from the past three model years encountered 79% more problems than conventional vehicles.
