    Interesting, glad to hear it takes that long to decrease that much. I also don’t have a garage to charge in either.

    How much range did you lose at -10F? Where I live it isn’t unusual to have stretches of -20 for a week at a time.

      In Canada in places where it gets really cold, it used to be common to plug in your car for the block heater in your engine.
