[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, I would never buy an EV SUV.

The idea of an electric vehicle for snow/bad weather is an oxymoron.  Batteries lose their charge way, way faster in cold weather and charge even slower.

Second, off road (even non-serious) is stupid amounts of stress on the suspension due to the weight of the batteries.  The vehicle would be destroyed quickly.

I would get a Lexus lx or infinity q80 (2025) for 100k range.[/quote]

I live in a ski town - Rivians and Teslas are very popular and do surprisingly well in the snow.  Tesla doesn't have enough ground clearance for a super steep driveway, but it is otherwise fine on snowy roads.  The Rivian SUV has plenty of ground clearance, so it's good everywhere in the snow.

When a freeze knocked out our power, the Rivian kept all the devices charged up. It didn't lose power quickly in the cold despite the temps and charging all the handhelds. It really was handy.[/quote]

I mean, I have a $200 Jackery that does that.[/quote]
