I live in Finland and drive a Tesla. I often hear people saying that EVs are "city cars" and not suitable elsewhere because of cold winter and long distances. Actually the opposite is true. - In countryside people drive more by average -> more savings - Practically every house has at least 3*25A power lines (230V) -> 11 kW charging from "red socket" - EVs are just fine in winter because of quick remote pre-heating, no need to idle the engine etc Btw, I just made a long trip in -20°C / -4°F. Of course the range is significantly shorter than in summer because heating needs energy, but there are no fundamental problems with the batteries itself.
