Oh dear, Oh dear, electric cars in winter !!!!!

Not really "news". The ICE and battery solutions don't like cold. Ironically, the ICE has to have all the cooling complications added while in reality, the higher the working temperature the better. What happened to the touted ceramic engines? People seem to like to pick faults with EVs. Obviously there are some or they would have already completely replaced the ICE. It doesn't mean that it's not a viable and much preferable solution in many cases.

IMO EV's should be welcomed as an option of choice, my choice is that I'll never have one, with only about 10 years max of driving to go it's an easy statement to make, if leccy was free and it should be, the technology was/is available and the cost of the car was comparable to a combustion engine then its a different decision.
