      What EVs don’t work in cold weather? Cheaper for the manufacturer for sure, and potentially safer though its not as if EV fires are some major epidemic.

        At a significant loss, yes. When it was really cold here that was about 30-40%

          I can live with that, 100miles of range is more than I use day to day, so is 60miles. Winter road trips could be a pain, but that’s maybe once a year

            Yeah I’d be happy with a safer battery with a bit less range if it also means it’s more consistent in said range between seasons. It’s good to know you’ll make it to X next city/charger/etc regardless of temperatures
