Thanks John. Even though the range cost of EVs due to cold weather is not a deal killer for most people, it does highlight one advantage of hybrids. As an experienced auto reviewer, you points add extra value to my assertions. Kent, Sam, while hybrids can be seen as a bridge to BEVs, the bridge is FAR longer than either of you will admit. You can't say a bridge is finished when it is 1% complete. I want BEVs to be successful just like you two do, but you need to understand that putting down hybrids to promote BEVs does far more harm to the success of BEVs than good. Because the more people who drive electrified vehicles, the more people will tell their friends about the benefits of electric motors in cars, from smoother, more reliable, quieter, and cleaner operation, to better accelerating and efficient vehicles. This is the same across ALL vehicles that are assisted with electric motors, and putting any of them down slows the progress of them all. You need to help by giving the 98% of car owners who solely use fossil fuels today some good reasons to choose an electrified vehicle, as opposed to reasons why you think that BEVs are the only EV technology that works for everyone. Because that approach will only add doubt and uncertainty to the 98% of potential EV buyers who drive using only gas/diesel today, and delay the acceptance of EVs.
