In the real world, cold weather sucks the life out of battery reserves. So, at wind chill minus 30, range would be much less... then, how do you heat the car so you can stand to drive and survive... stuck in a snowbank for a couple days with no recharge [real world that happens] you become a well preserved frozen artifact not found until the spring thaw, maybe. The electric car has reality problems that have not been overcome. I will keep driving Diesels for now.
