Norway is the world leader in EV sales, but now it’s crossed a new landmark: the first country with more EVs than gas cars in service.

I’m curious how well they handle the colder temperatures.
Battery capacity plummets when temperatures drop really low.
Also charging is a whole lot slower
It’s a mixed bag imo. Don’t go on a long road trip in the cold…
I’ve been traveling all across the US in an EV and haven’t had any issues with range in the winter. Colorado mountains during ski season, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana in the spring. The built in navigation routes you to chargers based on current conditions and I’ve seen minimal range drop.
