    If EVs are the future, heated seats will most likely be the way forward instead of cabin heating. It does seem quite ridiculous, but only because our entire culture has been conditioned to ambient air climate control as opposed to the Dutch oven/ hot water bottle methods used by previous generations. We'll see what happens, but it's actually not looking good for EVs, considering the power grid issues now being proven to limit the ability of EV owners to drive their vehicles.

    Can you imagine a car running on gas. It has a hole in the tank so you have to keep topping the tank up when it's in the garage. In cold weather the leak gets worse so you have to fill it up. But the gas station sells the wrong gas so you can't use it. At the next gas station the pump doesn't work. The third one has a 6 hour queue. The fourth station is empty. Great. Except it takes 6 hours to fill the tank. And still people insist this is the future.

But the thought of towing anything anywhere more than a hundred miles away from home sounds like a nightmare of a trip. I own a PHEV minivan and it's the best of both worlds - better on gas and a little more pricey than regular gas powered van, but MUCH LESS than an EV. Even with the tiny 16kWh battery pack, that's enough to replace half the miles we drive with electricity, but never having to worry about getting stuck at a charging station. 🤷 Nor did I have to install a level 2 charger so it wouldn't take DAYS to recharge.

    I've had my lightning for 3 months now. My temperature in the mornings are currently n the 40's. I was looking at his dash where he was getting 1.4 mi/kwh and 1.1 mi/kwh on his way home. I thought that was low but wasn't sure what he did or didn't do to cause it to be that low. I do park my truck in the garage. I do leave it plugged in, I do set a departure time because why wouldn't you, it warms up the cabin. And I almost never feel the need to run the heater since it stays warm on my drive. Except to defrost for a few minutes if the windy gets foggy. I use my truck for work. I carry ladders, boxes of wire, tools and supplies for the day. Nothing huge, but I'm definitely not empty. I have been averaging 2.0 mi/kwh for the past month. I also have solar at home to offset my charging cost. I think people need to understand what they are buying and I've told many the truck is not for everybody. For me it's perfect. I love it every day. I'm saving $600 a month on gas. I've used the truck batteries to power a scissor lift that wasn't plugged in the night before. Power a hammer drill in a warehouse that didn't have power. I would never drive a gas powered vehicle with it's exhaust into this warehouse. I've had 1,000lbs of wood pellets in the bed with no noticeable difference in the 20 mile drive home. If you live in a very cold temperature, be prepared. But research first before regretting a large purchase.

    Performance in cold weather for EVs is kind of a known issue. I believe every EV has this problem to some degree. In the video I believe Tyler mentions he did not have the truck plugged in overnight & such. You do use EVs a little different than gas cars, so I am not too surprised of poor performance, but this did seem more than I may expect. It is better to look at 'range' in terms of % vs. miles. The miles shown are a calculation 'guess' where % is %. Batteries are pickey, they don't like to be too hot or too cold. I live in a hot climate, so that has its own set of issues for a BEV car.

    Just climbing up hills is enough to really wreck your range in an EV. If you're driving on generally flat roads, you are barely using any power and can go really long distances... You hit a modest hill and need to climb a hill a few hundred feet in elevation? You just lost 3 miles of range to drive 0.5 mile! The regenerative braking will get some of that back on a down hill, but it's usually much less than half.

The technology can not be used in extreme cold or extreme hot climates and it suffers as it gets close to either extreme. Its right there in the specification for lithium ion technology. So the ev makers are not designing the thermo management systems correctly for the battery technology. This lack of proper design with there batteries could actually make it a lemon issue...?

    I own a Lightning Extended Range and a lot of the complaints Hoovie has about range and power are mitigated with the larger battery and preconditioning before you leave ie. Start the truck in your app 10min before you leave as you would warm up an ICE truck. Yes the range has dropped in the cold but not by the 50% Hoovie was seeing. Last weekend road trip 400miles+ round trip I stopped once to top off charge on the way there and once top off on the way home because I'm paranoid about range but could probably have just stopped once total. It's not perfect by any means but for my driving habits it's perfect. 0-60 in 4seconds it's pretty cool too. Frunk is super handy as well.

    I know I'll be labeled as a Chevy Volt evangelizer, the Volt's backup engine really saves the day in situations like this. I was disappointed when I got my Volt and the range was about 60% of what it should get in winter time. But the engine will supplement the reduced range, so I have no more range anxiety. The electric range drop is a fact of life with EVs. Lithium Ion batteries prefer to be around 72F at all times. So your best range will be when the temperature is closest to that. Best range I ever got was a foggy day where the temperature stayed the same almost all day.

I must order everything via online suppliers, shipping it to Miami and from there to Panama because there isn't a government mail company in Panama you can trust. And absolutely no house delivery at all. So plastic glue will be my main tool so far. When I got the truck, I looked at the dashboard and was like WTF! In the End, all plastic parts in the truck worse than a made in China car! I was told from Chevy in Panama replacement would be the same quality. Next will be a carpet or so.

    I'm with you. I just had to tow a heavy dual axel trailer today. It had almost 7,000 lbs of flooring on it. We went over a pass in 10° f snowing and cold. It was 70 miles one way. The house does have one plug-in in full time use with a 3-way loaded. It's a cabin way out in the mountains. So I couldn't plug it in and I also couldn't make it back on a single charge. If I had this ridiculous lighting I'd be screwed. Not to mention extra miles I'd drive to take my workers to the nearest town to eat back to worksite and then home again. This is a 12 hour day. So unless I pay an extra $4,000.00 for the power up grade unit from Ford then pay an electrician to in stall it, there would be no way it would charge enough in the 12 hours before I had to go again. Also if I had to do other running around when I got back or before I had to go back and do the whole trip over again. Theses things are absolutely ridiculous.

Hopefully the upcoming Graphen batteries will lessen this issue.

The first law of thermodynamics says the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Is it possible that now with the colder temperature there is a dense or more powerful charge when you’re using the car in colder weather? I’m wondering if in colder weather the truck feels more powerful? Should’ve like her with a gas engine when the temperatures are cooler you get a denser air charge and possibly gas is denser too so the engine is more powerful.
