Diesel isn’t great either - the diesel gels in the cold and has to be heated again. It’s a real pain, I can see why electric cars are popular in cold countries

- throwaway0a5e 6y agoCold countries like Canada and Russia and that part of the US they bought from Russia once upon a time? The reason electric cars are popular in scandinavia is tax policy. Everyone else uses petrol cars or they use diesel and deal with the issues.
- lstodd 6y agoYeah well. People do not realise what 'cold' means. It's when the standard equipment of a gasoline engined car includes a preheater which is basically a dedicated burner to heat up the engine because otherwise even a gas engine would not start.
