The You Tube mentions hybrid cars as a solution more than once. The gas mileage drops some in the winter months, but you don’t freeze and you don’t have to put up with charging stations cutting you off. Does that really happen?
In Wisconsin, you must wear a red badge of shame on your rear license plate, as well as pay an illegitimate annual EV registration surtax ($120 if memory serves) if you drive a hybrid.
Not an EV lover but my son in London seems happy with his. He actually remotely turns on the heating in the car ahead of time so the interior is warm for his departure.
Part 1 of the “solution” is to therefore accept the reduced mileage and enjoy visits to the roadside services while the battery recharges. Part 2 is to have deep enough pockets to afford an EV with a high enough battery capacity.
In the U.K., visits to service stations on the motorways are anything but enjoyable, especially for EV drivers who have to hang about waiting for the battery to be adequately charged, provided that they were fortunate enough to find a vacant charger – highly improbable at peak holiday travel times.
My glorious supercharged 3litre XJ6 (the last real Jaguar made) takes me from Manchester to Surrey and back on a single tank, and when I pop into a service station for pee I almost feel sorry for the suckers with EVs having to hang about.
For cities use: https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/city name/
For the city name, use lower case letters, If the city name is two words connect the words with a hyphen. At the end of the page, there is a list of options for acquisition and display of the weather and climate data.
The most useful option is:
average-temperature-by-year.
The Tmax and Tmin data are displayed in a long table. There is an option for display of data for a month. This useful for checking winter temperatures.
Depends what your comparison is. I colder than were I now live(Arizona, Valley of the Sun.) A lot warmer that where I grew up(Northern Minnesota) I spent most of my adult life in Fargo which is warmer the the small town I grew up in. A typical cold winter will have 160 to 180 days below freezing. During the winter below zero weather night is five to six weeks each year. The record for not getting to zero is 37 days. The longest period that it never got above -20 nine days I person live in three of those and that was 7, 6 and 6 days. No can you guess why I now live in the valley of the sun, Days on end of triple digits is a lot easier to take at my are the day on end below freezing or below that. By the way electric cars are not very common in Northern Minnesota or North Dakota, I often wonder why, just kidding of course at -20 it can be a challenge keeping warm in an ICE vehicle, Cold feet is common in the winter driving up there.
Harold The Organic Chemist Says:
“CO2 Can Not Cause Warming of air”.
At the Mauna Loa Obs. in Hawaii, the concentration of CO2 in dry air is currently 426 ppmv. One cubic meter of this air has a mass 1,290 g and contains a mere 0.84 g of CO2.
In air at 21° C and 70% RH, the concentration of water vapor is 17,780 ppmv. One cubic meter of this air has a mass of 1,200 g and contains 14.3 g of H2O and 0.78 g of CO2. To the first approximation and all things being equal, the proportion of the greenhouse effect (GHE) due to H2O is given by:
GHE=moles H2O/(moles H2O+moles CO2)
=0.79/(0.79+0.018)=0.98 or 98%.
This calculation assumes a molecule of H2O and a molecule of CO2 each absorb about the same amount of out-going long wavelength IR light emanating from the earth’s surface. Actually, H2O absorbs more IR light per molecule than CO2. There is just too little CO2 in the air to have any effect on weather and climate. In winter CO2 hibernates.
I recommend that you send a copy of this comment to your friends and to any of your warmist greenies friends.
My wife bought a Tesla before the subsidy was phased out. She seems pretty happy with it, however we live in Florida. We took it to the ATL for Thanksgiving. We had a couple of near death experiences in “hurry mode” in city traffic, but I75 in rural locations was pretty mindless.
We spent time at Buc-ee’s charging and eating lunch. About a 15 – 20 minute stop, but we’re old so stopping and stretching is fine with us.
I, however, love my ICE Jeep Wrangler. It’s a cult vehicle as well. I’m hoping it’s my last vehicle.
“We spent time at Buc-ee’s charging and eating lunch. About a 15 – 20 minute stop, but we’re old so stopping and stretching is fine with us.”
Was that for a full charge? Or just enough? If you don’t charge fully every time, you’re reducing the overall lifespan of your batteries more than usual. And no, I’m not talking about “memory”. All rechargeable batteries measure their lifespans in discharge/recharge cycles.
Grok has some interesting insights regarding Tesla battery charging. And yes he/she is a creation of Musk Inc. so she is probably parroting the company line, but she did provide data. My guess is Tesla has more data on their vehicles than most car companies. Good and bad.
For warm climates where it never snows, why don’t the Jeep guys make a Jeep with only rear wheel drive? This Jeep would be for city folks who like the Jeep style.
Makes sense for some models, however I’ve used the 4 WD in the mountains of NC where I lived for 10 years and on the beach where I live now. I’ve seen a lot of vehicles stuck in the sand, primarily 4 WD trucks.
i have never seen a Jeep stuck in the sand. I have seen one straddling a small boulder in the mountains. I’m not sure what happened there.
WW2 surplus electrically heated garments? Joking. New electrically heated motorcycle gear. These will keep a body safely warm while using a small fraction of the power (~70 watts) compared to the power used keeping the cabin volume even semi-warm.
In the 80’s as a student, I had an old Datsun PU which had neither AC nor heater. There were a couple times on long trips I had to stop in a state of near hypothermia and retreat to a restaurant for a couple hours to recover.
It’s not for governments to use taxpayer money to encourage a switch to EVs. EVs should be able to compete on a level playing field, not one tilted in favor of electrification.
People are already trending towards hybrids of their own volition because they make sense as an option providing better fuel economy than a regular combustion car, but without having the Achilles heel of a battery which requires inconvenient charging.
You’re right. I use You Tube’s “Follow along using the transcript.” feature. Makes it easy to put together accurate quotes. Except when the transcript isn’t all that clear.
No, plug in hybrids are NOT the way to go, because they saddle those with engines that are too small and depend too much on the battery.
Which means on long trips you inevitably suck the battery dry and are then stuck with the same lengthy “recharge” routine as an EV unless you enjoy reliving the glory of driving a 1974 Ford Pinto.
We have a plain hybrid, not a plug-in, and so far round trips Milwaukee to Chicago and Milwaukee to Door County WI don’t run the battery down. Does require gas though. If we had a plug-in hybrid those round trips would likely be the only time we would buy gas. I’m told that user manuals for plug-ins tell you to run the engine every now and then.
Our hybrid Ford Escape gets 41 mpg in summer and 39 in winter. Our old Escape got around 20 mpg.
Final analysis, I have no reason to believe what you posted above.
Same. Had a 2012 Plug-in Prius (though this was an early plugin model, you’d only get about 10 miles on a plugin charge, so I never used it). Did not experience AGW’s statements.
2012 Prius is probably not a representative example of what I’m talking about. Probably a small battery (confirmed by 10 mile range) which means it needed a big enough engine similar to regular/mild hybrids.
My friend’s wife has a plug-in hybrid which she uses to commute to work (about 6miles each way). She charges it for free when at work, basically pays no fuel costs and relatively low maintenance, seems like a good deal.
You have a MILD hybrid, not a plug in. Why you think anything you just said has any bearing on plug in hybrids *escapes* me. 🤪
“Does require gas though” – yup, the difference being a mild hybrid gets enough engine to move the car when the battery is low.
In a plug in hybrid, they typically reduce engine size and DEPEND on the battery for a significant portion of the ‘system’ power. So on long trips at speed, not enough engine means you drain the battery more until you’re faced with a choice of (1) stop and sit at a “charging station” or (2) drive an underpowered vehicle.
If you buy a vehicle that gets high gas mileage, you’re already driving an underpowered vehicle.
My experience with my plugin Prius doesn’t fit with your view.

The EV mandates are there to destroy the car industry.
It’s part of the deindustrialisation plan.
Almost all industries, except for the MiC, are considered obsolete;and even the MiC
is part of the debttrap that ‘ll eventually be used to sell everything for pennies on a dollar to those Merz,Micron and Sunak have been working for.

Another further glimpse of the obvious. Gov.UK is well aware of the situation…
Tesla privately warned UK that weakening EV rules would hit sales Carmakers including BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan and Toyota – all of which have UK factories – claimed in their submissions to the consultation in spring that the mandate was damaging investment, because they were selling electric cars at a loss. However, environmental campaigners and brands that mainly manufacture electric vehicles said the rules were having the intended effect – Grauniad
As they say, the mandates are having the intended effect. A major plank in de-industrialisation.
I don’t need a car company executive to tell me EV mandates will destroy any auto industry governments inflict them upon.
EVs suck and most buyers don’t want them. Forcing auto companies to build products most don’t want is a recipient for auto industry failure.
I said a long time ago that all the US EV mandates would accomplish is the destruction of the US auto industry and turning the US into Cuba where people keep old cars going because there are no alternatives.
The Ford CEO should look at the bright side; less competition from the soon-to-be- bankrupt European auto makers.
Then, isn’t the Ford Exec reducing his company’s market share substantially by retreating into isolationism of a sort? They should dig in while they still can.
In the UK, tradesmen – plumbers, electricians, builders etc – are known individually as white van man and most of the time that white van is a Ford Transit.
Is he “retreating into isolationism?” I didn’t watch the video, just read the article.
But to your point, if Ford’s European sales are tied to requirements to sell an ever increasing percentage of EVs (or pay fines, etc.) by stupid European EV mandates and they can’t sell any more cars or Transit vans there unless the make them EVs (that they’ll lose money on every one they sell) then maybe cutting their losses is the right move.
In fact, might not be a bad idea for all US automakers to ship all the EV inventory they have to countries “mandating” EVs, maybe they can sell them there.

The quickest way to lower the IQ of the human race is a vegan diet. We don’t have the GI track for a vegan diet and out closest cousin in the animal world the chimpanzee who does have a GI track for being vegan, Yet they have to eat it own feces because one time through does not get out all the nutrients they need. No thank you, I will remain on my Keto diet that not the reason I am on that diet for that the reason most plants are trying to poison me, destroying my GI track.
I’ve worked in Auto plants all over America, many foreign owned. The European and Japanese manufacturers figured out long ago that the growth market was the USA.
Decades later they market themselves as “American” companies. I know it’s not that simple, but Trump keeps pushing for more investment. Make EVs for Europe and let Americans buy whatever they want. I would shrink the USA government to a minimalist entity if I could. But that ship has sailed and I fear will never return. I have to deal with the real world not my vision of utopia.

Saw this question somewhere.
Wondering if one the EV lovers can answer it. 😉
The You Tube mentions hybrid cars as a solution more than once. The gas mileage drops some in the winter months, but you don’t freeze and you don’t have to put up with charging stations cutting you off. Does that really happen?
Dunno.
I’d drive a hybrid if they sold them without the HYBRID lettering on the back & sides
The exhaust pipe gives the game away that your ride is really an ICE powered unit, with some help from a big battery.
In Wisconsin, you must wear a red badge of shame on your rear license plate, as well as pay an illegitimate annual EV registration surtax ($120 if memory serves) if you drive a hybrid.
Hybrid, as in volatile lithium battery and fuel in one package?
up next – adding a hydrogen tank
Not an EV lover but my son in London seems happy with his. He actually remotely turns on the heating in the car ahead of time so the interior is warm for his departure.

While working the flight line at RAF Upper Heyford in Oxforordshire back in the early 1990s it sure did.

And wait even longer to recharge. Higher Capacity Battery = Longer Charging Time from nearly depleted.
The answer is actually quite simple.
Wait until global warming kicks in.
There’s a heatwave around every corner.
Local weather announced this morning that this December (1/3 of the way in) is the coldest in 20 years.
Where is the well mixed CO2 that is trapping heat?
Harold The Organic Chemist Says:
“CO2 Can Not Cause Warming of air”.

Yes and there’s even less at the poles, where part of the earth’s heat is radiated to space, regulating earth’s temperature.
next century
But those reduce range too.
Room temperature (thereabouts) is optimal for worse-than-useless EVs.

Fast charging causes the battery to heat up, which also lowers it’s life expectancy.

Answer:- Junk the polluting EV and buy an invironmentally friendly diesel.
I once read that a modern diesel engine is about 50% thermal efficient. Is the correct?
