I was being sarcastic. I'm from Germany and most "car people" constantly talk about EVs being not reliable, especially during winter ...

Ah yes, that time of year when cars are known to just start right up every time they're cranked over, and gas cars totally aren't still subject to a battery getting cold ...

Gas cars don’t have a battery, they run on… gas ::: spoiler . /s :::

In their defense, my German EV lost a good 40% range on the winter

That's really bad. What brand/model?

VW ID3

Ah. The liar-company.

Yep.. did not get to choose which car I got, and was quite disappointed with it. The car itself is okay, the driving is good. But the battery and its management was horrible. They even sent a recall recently because the battery was draining abnormally fast when not using the car
