Cool. Maybe electric vehicle adoption will stop around 95% then, people in very snowy countries can still drive some fossil fueled vehicle (or simply carry around a small kerosene heater in their trunk). For the vast majority of the world getting snowed in is not a common enough problem to drive vehicle choice.

Might you have heard of the US? Salt Lake, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, DC...

  The US as a whole has less than 5% of the worlds population, and even in the states there are plenty of people in places like Florida and California where the threat of getting snowed in is pretty minimal. Most countries with significant snow risk are also pretty sparsely populated, so 95% is not far off.

    It’s pretty far off if you’re talking about the population that can afford Teslas.

      There are more electric vehicle manufacturers than Tesla and many of those are specifically targeting the cheaper price brackets.
