My EV doesn't freeze and die in winter and can be parked outside on the street for a week without me needing to leave the apartment. Just imagining riding a horse in an extremely cold spring rain hurts to think about.

you just haven't designed a proper horsebrella with HVAC
I mean sure there's all of that... But consider this:
A horse doesn't play music, or pick up where I left reading on my audiobook.
They don't have mirrors or a seatbelt, so how safe can a horse REALLY be? ๐ค
also, if it's my really my horse it's drinking with me
The horse self driving mode is pretty good though, with its built-in hazard avoidance and lane keeping.
I heard the nav is shit though for the self driving. Basically always just takes you home.
I mean, I like my EV... But bragging about it's performance in winter? Not the sales pitch I would go with. I get 1/3 the range of a mild day, and I'm not blasting the heat.
What kind of shitty EV you got brotha? I also see about 30%โ50% decrease in range on a Volvo EX40 in like -15โ-20ยฐC temperatures, for a car which is built upon a pretty old platform.
Where do you live? I think we might have different ideas of what cold is.
Damn, what EV do you have? I have a '23 Bolt and I only see about a 30% reduction in efficiency in below freezing. The performance of mine in winter was fair, and even in blizzard conditions in Chicago at 20F it still got the job done. But yea, the heater will consume a lot of battery regardless. Charging is my only concern, and that's solved by the fact that I have a supercharger not too far I can use once a week early in the morning for cheap $0.35 per kWh.
ยข35/kWh is cheap? That's the price of a kWh with a subscription at Ionity. I park and charge at this parking spot with a charger where you pay by the hour. ยข14/hr. ๐ It's close to my gym so whenever I'm there for like 3โ4h I just park there and fillerup for basically change. ๐
Yeah I wouldn't recommend an EV to anyone that can't L2 charge at home for "normal" utility rates.
