Electric vehicle charging in winter

[bioman_imp]

We have a Tesla Model 3 for 2 years now, and sure enough: it is not a perfect Canadian winter vehicle. Main limitation is its range during colder (sub-zero) days: basically it will drop in half. It still does fine for my wife's 75km (one-way) daily commute. In summer it is true to its claimed range, so A/C doesn't seem to use as much energy as heating.

So far I have not observed any issue with the charging in our (unheated) garage. Possibly it is slower but that doesn't bother me as we typically charge the car overnight.

All in all: we are very happy with the car, despite all the critical notes I read on the omniscient internet. It drives soooo smoothly!
