It’s only a last resort. I think it’s better than freezing.
EV cars do not get good range in extreme temperatures rather it’s hot or cold. In the hot you can at least turn off the AC to maintain the battery for better range. I used to have a 2016 EV car. It got approximately 200mi per charge for range. Roughly 2 hours of driving. When it was 8 degrees out I drained the entire battery in an hour. There’s something called phantom draining. It’s when the cars battery depletes just sitting there. When it’s cold you have to watch that too. I love my EV car but it has its learning curves.
I just can’t wrap my head around Christmas & new year in summer.
My whole family, including me, are all British, though I've lived in Australia for 99% of my life. I'm here because my grandmother emigrated here, as did most of her siblings. Except her brother, my Uncle John, who came out to visit in the summer of oh it would've been about 1978 or '79. His wife Maud didn't cope so well with the heat but John LOVED it, and he loved the idea of Christmas in the summertime as well. This is him on a boat trip over to Moreton Island, wife Maud in the middle and my grandmother on the right. It took him about two seconds to strip off his shirt and he REALLY didn't want to go home back to the English winter!!
