Maybe there aren’t many people driving EVs there

  Well they're quite common in nordic countries; of course, the population of nordic countries tends to be in the southern latitudes.

    Also I think being near the ocean helps with temperature.

  While they aren't as popular in the Dakota's, there's quite a few EV's in Minnesota, where the temperature ranges are similar (1 degree Fahrenheit at the moment).

    > It includes aggregated and anonymized data from 7,000 vehicles in the Recurrent community from across the United States as well as tens of thousands of data points from on-board devices that provide data on energy usage. Maybe some more Northerners should join Recurrent?

  If that's the case, it might be even more important to show this data so that people there can decide whether to start getting EVs.

  I'm in the Rockies, about 6300' elevation and the temp in the winter is often sub-zero with extremes being around -25F but only a few days usually. None of the locals have an EV but I have seen them on the highway going up to Yellowstone so I have not been able to ask them about range. The UPS drivers here will soon have a couple EV delivery trucks. I talk to them all the time so perhaps that will be useful data I can relay. It won't be graphs, just happy or grumpy driver anecdotes. I hope they give the drivers good heaters.
