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.
¢35/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. ¢14/hr. 😅 It's close to my gym so whenever I'm there for like 3–4h I just park there and fillerup for basically change. 👌
Yeah I wouldn't recommend an EV to anyone that can't L2 charge at home for "normal" utility rates.
