I have taken note of the stranded Teslas of Chicago. Even before I purchased my Nissan I heard about the problem of charging cold batteries. Maybe it’s worse than I heard of. So far, I have been able to charge my battery on my Nissan from my home, though Entergy has requested we not charge cars during high usage.

However, it would seem if you plan on driving an EV around Chicago, it would appear you should plan on parking it at the end of Nov for a few months.

As I have mentioned in some of my posts earlier, there are a few problems they need to work out yet. I guess frozen batteries is another one, besides, range, charging stations and charging time.

Them, there going green engineers better get it in gear if most of our cars will be electric in 2030. That is 6 years away. Just maybe someone with some common sense will ask for an extension, like maybe 50 years.

Incidentall, I still really love my almost new Nissan EV. But then, I have never driven it more than 50 miles. One thing I noticed, it does seem to handle slickery roads better than anything else I’ve driven with 2 wheel drive.
