We thinking about purchasing one our agreement is I got caught in a blizzard - 20f one a road for 18 hours can a EV sustain that heat source that long without a recharge? |

"You'd need a plough on the front and possibly winter tyres
And maybe a 60 litre tank of diesel….  "

In theory an ev uses less electricity than a petrol equivalent does doing the same thing… just because there are less running components |

Lots of de-icer or a good brand flame thrower, good in car entertainment - in case he doesn't have Presidential status. Clarksons telephone number |

Yeah, I think a Ford truck can run a house for 2 weeks or something |

Pick the right tool for the job. EVs are great for short distance, fair conditions. Wait another decade and some slightly more robust ones might appear.
Diesel isn’t going anywhere though. Just needs to be saved for where it’s most efficient/eco for the task at hand. |

"Get one with a heat pump. But in cold conditions with no regeneration it’s going to get cold. Using the heated seats would probably use less energy than heating the whole car. "
National guard can come out put gas in it all set within 25 minutes.

What are you looking at….
Can I ask typical American.. are you looking at an actual car or something more like a ford f150 lightening…
Without getting too political… it may be worth your while waiting a few weeks .. the bill passed on Saturday night has all sorts of big “made in America “ ev tax credits… in it |

is it going to sustain in a middle of a blizzard where you stuck on a road for 18 hours.It would work great it other climates. Imagine if all cars were EV and needed to be charged individually. Is petrol better in my situation or EV ? |

Option a) rent house to skier's over winter, rent a motorhome and evade natural disasters like a Nick Cage movie.
Option b) move within walking distance of work, friends, family (delete if you already do).
Option 3) look at Sweden and Norway and how they are cope with sub zero temps as they aren't pushing lekki motors to work.
Option 4) do some arctic training, carry tins of beans in frunk of motor, star jumps, wordle. |

Heating and other ancillary requirements do not compare to the power of turning the motors to drive the car.
I say a report on a test using a Tesla Model Y in a -11 Celsius carpark, which demonstrated 60 hours with a constant cabin temp of 16 degrees.
In an EV, you can also extend the battery like in this situation by reducing the cabin temp, where as that wouldn't effect how much petrol/diesel you used.

Same applies if you run out of fuel.
There's the added danger of carbon monoxide poisoning if you get snowed under and don't keep the exhaust pipe clear to the outside while the engine is running. |
