The number of buyers in the U.S. considering an electric vehicle purchase in 2024 has fallen from a year ago due to a shortage of affordable cars, inadequate charging infrastructure and ignorance about EV benefits, a study by J.D. Power, opens new tab has shown.
Other factors contributing to waning EV demand in the United States include stubborn inflation, high interest rates and underwhelming growth in model availability, the study said.
Interesting, glad to hear it takes that long to decrease that much. I also don’t have a garage to charge in either.
How much range did you lose at -10F? Where I live it isn’t unusual to have stretches of -20 for a week at a time.
Thats the temporary 20% range reduction I referred to.
Do you have block heaters for your ICE vehicles because of that cold and parking outside?
Nah, it’s not really an issue unless You’re around -40 or have a diesel. Or if you have an older battery.
In Canada in places where it gets really cold, it used to be common to plug in your car for the block heater in your engine.
