Uh yeah, even Kansas has nearly twice the miles of highway as Norway. So let's face it: you just can't drive very darned far in Norway, so range is pretty immaterial.Reisender wrote:freddmc wrote:
I lived in Regina and i doubt a current ev would be able to go anywhere in the winter as all the juice would be used to run th heater non-stop.
Most of the mainstream ones would be fine for trips up to about 200 km in winter. If you need more range that that stick with an ICE vehicle. Great commuter vehicles in winter though. If all you have to do is something like a 150km commute even in winter EV’s rule over ICE from the convenience point of view. Think you guys get colder winters than us though. Do your research. For us we much prefer our EV’s over gassers in the winter but different people have different needs.
People in Norway seem to like them. Hopefully few Americans have colder winters than Norway.
Norway zero emissions sales
As in virtually all aspects of EV's Tesla seems to have the best tech for cold weather. Don't forget that if you charge at home you can program your car to be warm before you leave and electric cars do still have enough waste heat to keep the cabin warm.
They are selling pretty well in Canada too and their is lots of room to roam there along with some very cold weather. The Model 3 outsold the Camry and Accord in 2018.
