Very well. It's much more enjoyable to own an electric vehicle in colder climates than a gas/diesel powered one actually, since you can let it heat up and defrost completely before going anywhere.

Interesting. I've always heard the usual complaints of EVs being harder to start from cold temps and the battery not lasting as long when it's cold.

That’s part of the disinformation campaign against competition for legacy auto and gas. There is a lot of money going into telling you the new option is worse…

That's fair. IMO though, the worst part are these half-assed OSes with OTA updates and software locked hardware.

When I need a new vehicle, I'd like to go electric but I haven't seen one that really like yet.
