According to a story published by The New York Times, EV drivers in Norway are used to preheating their cars before going out for a drive in freezing temperatures. Lars Godbolt, who’s an adviser of the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association, said that charging infrastructure has also been improved greatly in the past few years, leading to shorter lines during the winter at charging stations(..)

So do your homework before going out in the freezing cold: charge at home, precondition the battery before fast charging, and even read the manual (crazy, right?) if you have to. And remember, people riding around in horse-drawn carriages used to laugh at motorists in the early days when gasoline had to be bought from the pharmacy in glass jars(..)

P.S. Oops! The problem with the Chicago EV charging nightmare turned out to be simple, it turns out that a lot of people in America are too lazy to read owner's manuals and don't bother with proper car usage practices or maintenance...!!! Wow! Surprise! Surprise...

Civil disobedience at it's best.

Too often political leaders put ideology above practicality and management. Kudos to this executive for an honest look at where EVs and the electrical grid really are. I would like to see an EV parked in an airport for a few weeks in northern Canada during winter, and see Comrade Trudeau get off a plane and see how far he gets in it. But unlike the Ford CEO, Trudeau will lack any honesty or realism in his pontifications to the unwashed masses.
