I have made two long road trips with my Tesla since buying it last August. One roundtrip from Las Vegas to Cheyenne. The other from Las Vegas to Nashville. Both round trips. On the first trip I got very anxious when at one recharge I had only 15 miles of charge left before plugging in at a supercharger in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. Returning home from Nashville we stayed overnight in New Mexico at a hotel that had a supercharger. I charged up in the morning. The outside temperature had gone down to -12 F. It took a half hour after plugging in before the car would start taking a charge. It took another 45 min before the car was fully charged. Both situations were eyeopening experiences. I have learned to trust the car and when it says where to charge the car that is where and when I charge the car. I have a charger at home and I have solar panels. I pay nothing for charging the car. My monthly electric bill is $15. Charging the car on the road costs around $10. The car has a range of 325 mi.

I wonder what would happen if you needed to charge your electric car and it was -20 degrees c.
I do not want an electric car ever, I live in a block of flats so no charging facility. I much prefer my diesel car it ha range of just under 750 miles and if it is very cold weather I can put the heater on in car and not worry my mileage might be comprimised.
By the ti.e diesel is banned I will be long dead and buried so I do not care.
