    Having driven electric vehicles in 10 Texas Winters, and also paying attention to some basic science, I can assure you it absolutely is.

    Also my diesel which normally gets 50mpg drops to 20-25 when towing.

    No one cares when there’s 3 fueling stations per mile and it only takes 5 minutes to refuel.

    Maybe don’t eat the slop the talking heads are paid to shovel into the trough.

    Maybe stop fucking lying 🤷

      You’re not in Norway.

        I live in norway and drive an EV. There are a lot of chargers around, and the infrastructure has adapted to EVs being the norm. Most gas stations offer charging and small charging stations are popping up in many other parking lots. Maybe not multiple stations per mile, but enough to never having to be worried about not being able to reach the next charger.

      The science is the range indicator can say a lower number when the battery is cold. But you get your range back once the battery heats up. Thermal management is really good on recent models. Doesn’t really matter because it’s rare to drive 300+km in a day even in the US.

      It doesn’t matter if you’re driving 45min to work, your car was charged overnight and most workplaces offer charging.

      I certainly do at ~$12/gal.

        I’d love to see that science.

        No one cares about range on their commute to work…
