How many EVs is GM actually selling?

So how do ya run and charge those EVs when it’s 0 or -30 outside?
It’s great and all, but the only apartment places that seems to have convenience outlets for each car are also places where EVs don’t fare so well yet.
Even assuming charging immediately after returning home, with a warmed up battery, how much of that 15-20A convenience outlet is actually providing additional charge and how much is charging what the battery is using to maintain temperature?

Again, at this point, the technology is good for some (who also aren’t afraid to spend more money on cars) and not even close to a reality for many.
Just keeping the flip side of the story real, here.

Yah for sure. Ideally a 3 KW or better charge source is better in winter although we did it for a couple years with just a 15 amp plug. Literally used our soffit plug for Christmas lights. But keep in mind that this is all achievable and people make it happen. Generally speaking, the further you go north the higher the adaption rate of EV’s is. Norway has the highest EV adoption rate in the world, now north of 90 percent. Iceland, holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany all have high EV adoption rates. Many people start by buying a single EV. Then winter comes and everybody in the house is fighting over who gets to drive the EV. The next year the gas vehicle gets replaced by another EV and it’s an EV household. Literally happened to us. EV’s are super convenient in winter, especially if you have to park outside. Always getting in a warm car. Never having to go to a cold gas pump and freezing your hands. (Charging at home). I could never go back to a gasser in winter and everybody we know driving an EV feels the same.

Here’s our old leaf plugged into our soffit plug. This is back in 2015 or 2016.



And yah we get winter here although our lows are typically not below minus 25. Our Tesla model 3.



Jmho.
