The Prius people were smug to when those came out. This old pot head hippie dude i know from a old job, his daughter bought a Prius. She would go on and on about the environment. Any how she bought that over priced piece of shit, three years into payments the battery took a shit and Toyota i want to say quoted her like $6k to replace it. I have another friend thats super cheap, he was looking between the Yaris and the Prius for his old ladies new ride. He worked out the math , his conclusion was if you paid the high premium for the Prius you would have to drive it damn near ten years to break even on the Yaris savings. The Yaris was $10k or $11k cheaper to start.

If you’re talking about the orange stickers that the State Police put on all of those cars, those aren’t to let people know they’ve been taken care of. They’re tow orders.

[@JeepinJoe]

They have heat but the less heat they use the more range they get. They decide if they want more heat or more range.

[@pyrioncelendil]

Also it depends on whether it's a newer model with a heat pump vs an older model with a resistive heater. The older models get more heat but far less range, while the newer models retain more range but heat pumps lose effectiveness the colder the outdoor temperature gets.

[@Tsurnari]

Had seen a video recently about charging EVs in really cold weather that the US is getting. The EVs all had the same problems, it took multiply tries at different charge points for the cars to be recognised and it took different amounts of time for the battery to be warmed up to a point where it took a charge.

[@pyrioncelendil]

It'll take even longer if he's set it to both heat the cabin and precondition the battery while he's away. Ultimately it's the recharge time of those things that makes buying them a fool's errand, because if it took an hour to fill our gas tanks, internal combustion engines would've never caught on either. If/when we get to the point that we can put a full charge into a battery in five minutes without killing its capacity in the process, then EVs might make some sense, but not right now. Like if you want to jump aboard the electrification bandwagon right now, plug-in hybrids make far more sense than pure EVs. The meme of hauling a generator and gas can in the trunk of your Tesla proves why it makes more sense to just have the generator and gas tank built-in to the vehicle such that you don't have to stop on the side of the road to recharge when your battery runs out of juice.

[@truthseeker2321]

@@pyrioncelendil I don't think it will ever work, unless they start building cars with a Pantagraph, and put pantagraph lines above the roads.

[@SteveCChapman]

Teslas are fascinating, and how drivers don’t read the manuals or online tip forums. PlugShare app has community reported status of every charger, to report broken hoses, slowness, etc. The battery must be prewarmed to take a super charge, otherwise it’s slow to warm up. GPS navigation handles this for you, if you use it. Charges typically are 20-30 minutes to get enough juice to get down the road. Yes, Teslas have heat from the HVAC system, plus electric heated seats.

[@tjroelsma]

There are some video's another KZbinr did on this charging problem. He found out that even though the apps said all chargers were working at three! different chargepoints, the chargers themselves refused to charge his car, each one giving an error that pointed at an isolation leak. So it looks like the cables/charging plugs don't like the snow. That might be a small problem for EV drivers in winter EV manufacturers don't inform them about.

[@jerryplante4239]

The heat in those Teslas are electric heat (of course - no internal combustion to produce heat). If you want maximum range, you need to run with the heat off.

[@rfb91a]

The older ones were elecric resistance heat, the newer models are heat pump, (more efficient). The cabin heats up much quicker than a standard car with a cold engine, no need for the engine to get warm before you get heat.

[@c-v-n3322]

there is a problem with the charging station and cold weather same shit happen in Canada. if they are fast charging stations you were looking at. slower stations not so much of an issue. Difference in stations - level one charging station is slow charge 20 to 30 hours, level two is 2.4 to 4.5 hours and the level 3 fast charging station is 30-40 minutes

[@pyrioncelendil]

They need to get that down to five minutes without killing the battery's capacity in the process before EVs will really catch on.
