From Resource-Media: Much as one would weigh the pros and cons of a two-wheel-drive vehicle on snow or a diesel truck in extreme cold, consumers should consider an EV’s cold-weather hardiness when shopping. Gas and diesel vehicle owners in cold climates face reduced mileage, frozen fluid lines, dead batteries, and long warm-up periods.
