That goes without saying. But most modern EV’s have fair weather ranges of greater than 300 km. So as long as your commute isn’t longer than 150 km or so you’ll be fine even in adverse conditions.

If you travel long range in winter or live in area with poor charging infrastructure a more vehicle is a gas or diesel vehicle.
