Up here in the U.P of Michigan you don't see hardly any EVs in the winter, there are some during the summer, but winter is kind of problematic for a full EV car up here. There are some Hybrids on the road up here in the winter though, mostly Toyota trucks but also some AWD cars and SUVs. They seem to do all right here. I suppose people just put their full electric units in the garage for the winter here or something.
I personally will not get a full electric vehicle for multiple reasons. One is that they are heavy and stopping distance is longer in the winter or on ice. Plus, having to plug in a car all the time doesn't impress me much. Then you got the cost of replacing batteries, they only seem to last around five years around here for some reason, maybe because they sit in the garage all winter or something. I like gas vehicles myself, and I don't like cars that catch fire when you hit something or try to drive them when it is cold out because it draws too much power to run the heaters and motors from a cold battery. Yes, I know of about four EVs that caught on fire around here, one of those hit a tree and the car burst into flames and the two people got BBQed. The others that caught fire did not hurt anyone, driving down the road in the cold drawing too much power caused them to catch fire and the people just got out and watched their cars burn. They should come with a bag of marshmallows and a BBQ fork as standard equipment..
