They should have stove in the engine room to help out
You can’t jump start EV so it’s completely useless to me plus I live in apartment in cold Winnipeg and You want me to get an EV??? NEVER. I burn only one tank of gas in my 4 Banger a month,but the power doesn’t expire or leak like EV. Don’t need Fisher Price toys..
Tesla stock is going to be the biggest dog of 2024 just like their cars in winter. Happy charging
🤔 If the charging station not working in extreme cold weather then that's another problem
California mandates all new vehicles sold there must be 0% emissions by 2032. They have made no improvements to their electrical grid.
People using EV's like gas cars are crazy. Of you can not charge your car at home, do not buy an ev
If you don’t have a home charger EV is not for you
Get educated folks, tons of people in the comments that have no idea what they're talking about LOL
Lol charge in garage = fire, charge outside = too cold 😂
It’s like a phone
oh look! another video of EVs struggling in hold. I bet no one saw that coming…..
Your mileage can be decreased by half in cold weather, but all bets are off if you turn on the car heater to stay warm. If your wife controls the car heater in cold weather, you might not even leave the garage.
EV owners been real quiet lately.
Save at cost at filling up? No, I heard a supercharger uses as much power that three homes use in a day! Whose paying for that power?
🤣 morons
"Challenges?" Isn't that Orwellian double-speak? The things don't work in cold weather! That's not a "challenge," it's a failure.
Akio toyoda he is a genius man he's never believed in electric car hybrid cars is the best hybrid car selling up in the USA electric car selling decreased in the USA in 2023
Hybrid is way to go no headache and cheaper to buy than electric car save a lot money on fuel don't need to charge I already owned a 2022 toyota venza hybrid I'm very happy with the car
Get those piece of shyt GOLF CARTS off of our roads!
The electric vehicle mandates that the presidential administration is following are probably written in Southern California by climate activists who have never seen snow.
Yet in Norway, where half the vehicles are EVs, they report only a 20% drop vs. here in the US, 40%. hmmm. I wonder if the media needs that extra 20%?
Charging your car primarily at a public station is like charging your phone or laptop primarily at a public station vs at your house.
An EV is not the optimal choice for these ppl.
ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
they dont costs nothing less in charging ,infact they are more expensive in charging then ordinary fuel
Horses are a much more reliable technology.
I have a tesla and Ive never had this issue. I pre-condition the battery and I have 0 issues.
Well my Hemi doesn't have this issue 😂😂 I actually gain hp h better fuel mileage in cold weather.
If you can't have a charger at home, then better don't buy an ev
Yeah batteries are bad in cold thats why "cold starts" so hard for gas engines
EVs are a scam, doubly so when you’re burning fossil fuels to generate the electricity needed to charge them.
I bought a Tesla Model S in 201 8, when it was still a decidedly luxury brand, and service was exceptional.
Service has gone downhill ever since they scaled up with model 3’s and Y’s.
