Not true and frankly a gas or diesel is going to struggle in the -35 as well. There things you can do on Evs to mitigate the cold just like on a gas engine.
Most Electric cars still cost more to charge than to fill up with gas

Completely rural yeah not going to find one but on main roads they are everywhere. You just are not seeing them as they are not quite as obvious as a gas station. In fact quite a few are at gas stations.
In fact if curious there is an app called plug share you can download which will show you some of them (vast majority but not all) -
Oxbow Thanks this.

Some folks are looking to produce trailer mounted range extender battery packs.
I would expect the priority locations to be urban areas and crossroads.
I charge mine at home, got a little low for comfort one time and just popped by the dealer for a boost while chatting with the parts guy.
Wife can turn on the climate control from her phone to preheat or cool the car if it is plugged in. I paid a bit extra for the factory heat pump setup which is more efficient. Heated seats and steering wheel helps a bunch on the comfort side. Immediate heat where it's needed.

I do not think that EVs are a good match up for you and your requirements at this time. Will one evolve to meet your needs, I can see that happening.
Unfortunately we live in times where government and activists are spreading bad information. I will say what they refuse to:
At this time, EVS may not be a viable choice for large groups of population
At this time, EVs may not be viable for rural people because of lack of infrastructure.
At this time, EVs may not be viable for High density urban dwellers if they do not own/lease parking space or cannot install a charger at their parking space.
About the only people that have reasonable probability of success with EVs at this time are suburban and close-in rural with shorter range requirements.
Some local delivery fleets may also find success, Fed-ex is rolling out a fleet of electric delivery trucks in Los Angeles.Last edited: Aug 5, 2023
Oxbow, gentleroger and AModelCat Thank this. -

And for the record, let's go Brandon. I think a lot of folks are anti-EV just because of the folks pushing them. -

What they are overly dramatic about is not typically a concern of mine.Oxbow Thanks this. -
