Good point - the cold/very cold weather can reduce battery performance by a few percentage points. Solar charging is possible too using a solar charging blanket which on a good day can produce around 75km of driving battery capacity. EVs in Africa and with a less developed grid system will need to find clever solutions like enhanced solar blankets and parking shields. There are solutions emerging. Portable battery packs are also available which again give your EV around 75km driving capacity too.

During the current blanket of cold, most of the United States is less than enthusiastic over EVs. You might want to lay low until the weather warms and the sun comes out.
