20-30%?

My EV can lose HALF of its range in subzero temps.

But since I charge at home and only use it as a commuter car that’s not a problem.

IMHO very few people who can’t charge at home should have an EV as their second (or third, or fourth) vehicle.

I was listening to KFI radio here in Los Angeles area and they had a report of one guy who spent a total of 11 hours trying to charge his electric car at a Tesla charger. He had it towed at the end to his home.
