Maybe I'm an oddity but I'm 26 single and I don't drive much, maybe 2000 miles a year. I order food, grocery and almost everything online. I don't see myself owning an electric car. Here in Wisconsin it gets so cold that my gas barely starts. I don't think an electric car or any type of battery will last.

- theshrike79 6y agoI live in Finland and we need to sell a special kind of diesel for it to stay liquid during winter months. Cranking a diesel in -30C weather is ... not a fun experience. Petrol engines are a bit better, but the 5W40 oil is like syrup and the sound the engine makes is not pleasant to hear. With an electric car I can just jump in, press a button and it'll just start. In -27C a few weeks ago I timed it and it started blowing in warm air in 3 minutes, in 8 minutes the internal temperature was around 20C. Yes, it affects the range, but I don't drive hundreds of km a day, so the convenience and comfort trumps range for me every day. If my car was less shit (Hyundai limiting app availability per country ffs) I could heat up my car with my phone and jump in when it's nice and toasty.
