[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, as an owner of 2 ev’s in a snowy mountain town, I can assure you that the drivers in the article are same people who would have run out of gas on the side of the highway in a normal car. Yes, ev’s require more thought about energy logistics than a conventional car with a 40 gallon tank. But rolling up to a charger in subzero weather with 60 miles left is like crawling to a gas station on fumes. I read another article about a guy who parked his ev in an unheated Minnesota parking garage with 30 miles left and he returned a couple of weeks later and was surprised the car wouldn’t start. So if you have common sense and have never run out of gas, you will be fine. When I had an ICE car, I filled up when I went below half a tank. And now that I’m in an ev, I keep the car charged to at least 60% and never let it drop below 25%. I’ve had no problems in the past 5 years where it snows October - April. [/quote]
