Be careful with range estimates. You can lose 40% of the range in the cold, for example. And another 30% at highway speeds. Plus you can’t charge at exactly 0%, so you want a 10% buffer or so. Assuming you never want to drive further than 100km, you want an EV with a rated 260km of range at least. That shouldn’t be difficult with modern EVs, but you’ll want to avoid older EVs.
Good to know, since we will hit -40 here regularly over winter.
The Ford midsize pickup they’re talking about might be more battery than I need even with that, but it’s looking like the only reasonably priced offering.
