Why It Sucks to Own an EV in a Canadian Winter

The sticker says four hundred and fifty kilometres. Then a Canadian January shows up. Doug Brennan walks you through one full winter of owning an electric car in Canada, from the first frost to the trade-in. Why the heater eats your range faster than the cold does, why short errands are the worst case, why a cold battery charges at a crawl, and what happens at a broken fast charger at minus twenty. Plus Alberta's grid alert of January 2024, Ontario's overnight electricity rates, frozen door handles, the twelve-volt battery, insurance quotes and resale values. The eighth way it bites is the one that lasts longest, and it shows up in the spring. What's the coldest temperature you've ever had to plug something in?
