Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold:... 15
Many Chicago-area Tesla owners were visibly frustrated on Monday after their electric vehicles failed to charge amid freezing temperatures.
No its not.
Let me clarify my position. The problem with battery EV is when they get very cold they simply stop working, as evidenced in the big problems in the US this winter.
its that they wont work from a cold start, not if they work when warm in extreme cold weather
And both the Artic and Antarctic can be quite pleasant and mild sometimes in their summer.
In Minnesota this winter, during a bad storm, there were numerous news reports of EV's being stranded when they simply turned into a brick.
I agree, they run fine in cold weather, but when the battery gets below a certain temp., it's a brick.
I don't have your Pollyanna optimism to the Government that you do. if the EV population increases greatly, the Government will of course, raise the taxes on the use of them to maintain and probably increase the income from EV cars and trucks.
You can take that to the bank.
That's impossible to answer. There are 50 States and they are the ruling jurisdiction, not the Federal Government and each has its own laws that would govern the scenario you posted.
I have flown on the Concord a couple of times, and it is indeed tiny. I am a bit over 6 foot tall and I could not stand up entering it. It is very narrow also with 4 abreast seating in narrow seats and only about 100 seats - A small bird!
But it was the experience of a lifetime.
