"...let me concede a point. It's true that BEVs lose range in colder climates...But bear in mind, all cars lose range in the winter....Comfort, control, even durability benefits come along for the cold ride...BEV bodies tend to have lower drag coefficients and slip through the air with less effort...

"...Electric motors...will deliver the precise amount of power asked from the traction control system every time and almost always as quickly as the traction system can request it."
