I don't own an EV but, as a reminder, Tesla (and other EV manufacturers) do their best business in Scandinavian countries: The ...countries with the highest share of EV sales are Norway (all-electric vehicles made up 80% of passenger vehicle sales in 2022), Iceland (41%), Sweden (32%), the Netherlands (24%)... I think they understand winters. https://www.wri.org/insights/countries-adopting-electric-vehicles-fastest#:~:text=The top 5 countries with,%), according to our analysis.
You're daft. There are two disparate issues you do not seem to be aware of... In Norway, 98% of their electricity is from renewable sources (mostly hydo, because of the tens of thousands of fjords they have)... And Norway as a COUNTRY has a population of what...5 million? That's 1/4 of NYS. All 5 countries of Scandinavia comprise 25 million people, which is all of NYS. So 5 COUNTRIES in Europe make up 1 STATE in the USA.
Norway is a special case because they tax foreign cars like crazy, and no tax on EVs. No annual road tax. 50% off for ferries. Free municipal parking. etc. https://elbil.no/english/norwegian-ev-policy/ I am not against EVs, I am against Tesla.
You're moving away from the point. Nonetheless, let me help you check with reality. Nordic regions comprise nearly 28 million people. That's about the same number as all Canada bordering states combined. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_population#/media/Fileopulation_by_U.S._state.svg Yup, that's right. Your original point, however, was to suggest EVs somehow cannot operate properly in cold climates. It's just plain wrong.
Huh? Doesn't the transition involve all vehicles? 2.5% is nowhere near full transition. It will likely happen someday. Anyone who thinks they "know" otherwise is .... blowing smoke - pun intended.
And you live abroad in a police city/state haha paranoid protection much. One of the do's and don't to rigidly follow:- 4. Have cash readily available Although Singapore has adopted a large amount of technology into daily life, many areas still see the value of cash. Having some of the local currency readily available can benefit those in the area in a variety of situations. Smaller neighborhood shops may prefer to have customers pay in cash. Similarly, older eateries or hawker centers (food halls) may also work more on a cash basis than credit cards or contactless payments.
Wrong, you never need cash in Singapore . Most everything that is not paid with a credit card is done by contactless app payment called PayLah, a Singaporean specific interbank payment system that deducts pay directly from your local bank account.
