Our kid was north of Bemidji MN all weekend... -36C temps. Her EV was plugged-in to an extension cord, but only added 160km range in 48 hours (because when plugged-in, EVs try to heat the battery to ~0C).

Then 2 of 3 chargers in Bemidji dead; Brainerd worked before the cold snap but dead now; Little Falls has been dead all month.

So she'll charge to full in Bemidji then drive through to St. Cloud below the speed limit.

The bright side is: lots of other peoples' gas cars were even worse off.

@NNN wow!

I think the smaller range for EVs makes it more visible to see the reduction in performance, but Spouse also mentioned how cold weather affects fuel vehicles, too.

I still love my EV so far
