Yes cold does affect range and needs to be taken into account. But I have a family member that drives a Hyundai Kona for a 1h highway commute in Quebec, drives it back and forth without charging there all through the harsh Québec winter, charging it at home with that sweet clean hydro electricity. Her colleague drives a Tesla. Sure seems EVs still work there.
250km straight without a charging station, you need a car with a 500km range in the summer to reliably make it though with the heater set to the bare minimum so the windows don’t become covered in ice.
I never said they don’t work at all and my mother drives her 50km daily commute on electricity no problem, but we have places in our province that are just completely empty for distances you don’t see in Europe because of the density.
Yeah no for sure if you’re anywhere further north it gets real sparse and I get that for those situations it’s probably not realistic, 250km no mans land definitely would require careful planning even in a recent EV in Canadian winter but also most the pop doesn’t live there or face that issue, also most families have two vehicles or more so one of them can be electric fire exemple, perfect is the enemy of good. The other comment was talking about Europe so I responded on that since that’s where I drive my EV.
