Sure, electric vehicles have come a long way in the battle against winter’s chill, but boy, do they make for a great story. First, they’re going to tout their range loss in freezing temperatures, but then they’re going to try and save the day by ‘preconditioning’ their batteries – because, you know, the problem wasn’t just having a car that can’t keep its cool! Then there’s the warm cabin conundrum – electric cars have to warm up their interiors with their own batteries, while their ICE counterparts just use a bit of leftover engine heat. But fear not, they’ve got ‘efficient heat pumps’ and ‘heated seats’ ready to save the day! It’s like they’re expecting us to applaud for their clever use of power we’re supposed to already have. And let’s not even get started on the list of cars optimized for winter travel. I mean, really, a list of luxury EVs that are ‘optimized’? As if we’re going to be surprised they can handle snow. It’s like they’re trying to make up for the fact that, in real life, no one wants to buy an electric car for the winter. It’s like a ‘winter driving’ joke that’s not funny to anyone except the ones who have to listen to it.
