I also wondered about electric vehicles in extreme weather conditions be it 114 F in Phoenix or -25 F in the winter here in Montana.

Don't get me wrong I'm not dissn' electrics. I like the idea. It's just that when you have to run a heater in the winter or an air conditioner in the summer what does that do to your range?

If you take your car skiing and park it over night in minus ten or so and head back to the city an hour and a half away without being able to plug it in, is it practical or do you need another vehicle for when times aren't optimal.

I'm not talking about a couple of lead acid batteries and a golf cart motor but a sophisticated vehicle like the LEAF or Tesla?

Just curious how that works out.
