Speaking o which... EVs are still not a practical option for winter in much of Canada. Cold temperatures affect battery range tremendously. Imagine being stuck in a blizzard with a dead EV.
There's a robust infrastructure of charging stations all across North America.
You have to do the math for the purpose of the car. I'm using mine for a commuter car to go about 90 kms a day. The car gets 250-300 a day. That means I should charge the car every other day. One probably shouldn't set out for a 90 kms trip with only 100 kms of range left.
But that 100 kms of range left on the second day is a good buffer say I want to go somewhere other than home.
I think, in the winter, I'll get used to charging the car every day.
The car comes with an App that lets you schedule charging and also schedule the Comfort settings to come on. So if I leave for work at 7 every day. I can have it warm by then, and it's not using the battery, it's using the home's hydro to warm the car up for me.
I'm hopeful I'll be able to avoid clearing snow off the car on a snowy morning or scrapping frost.
