The battery also degrades quickly in heat.

So if you live in the Sunbelt where it gets hot don’t buy an electric car.

They also won’t charge or run well in cold winters.

So if you live up north where it gets cold don’t buy an electric car.

Salt spray from the ocean can cause corrosion of batteries.

So if you live near the ocean where there’s salt spray don’t buy an electric car.

If you live in a place where there’s no salt and temperatures remain between 40 and 80 degrees year round, then you can get an electric car.

That’s what happens when you buy an oversized golf cart to replace your real car.

Usually the price of leftist virtue signaling is paid by the rest of society. This time it came to bite them in the rear. Couldn’t happen to a more despicable group of people.

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.
