So I guess the cold sapping batteries is a thing with all EVs? My neighbor across the street had an Audi Q4 this summer/fall and I talked to him about it around Halloween, and he said he loved it. He said it got about 240 miles per charge. Then, right after Christmas he's got a new SUV. I saw him this weekend out in his yard and asked where the Audi was, and he said the battery lost so much juice in the cold that he was barely getting 100 miles per charge, so he got rid of it.
If that's a thing, I won't be getting an EV any time soon. Hybrid, maybe, but not an EV.
