Most people aren't road tripping in their electric vehicle every day. If you don't understand how temperature affects battery chemistry, capacity, and charging I don't understand how you can even be in this conversation.
They can't road trip ever if the vehicle doesn't have sufficient range. I don't understand how you can even be in this conversation when you don't understand basic principles like this.
I understand how it affects all of these. It doesn't cause any of it to "not charge properly". EVs are used in the coldest places in the world with no major charging problems.
I've driven from Madison, WI to Chicago in an EV with ~100 mile range in cold weather. Wouldn't be my first choice, but I was in a pinch at the time. It can work, but getting a reliable charger network is the biggest problem. Made three stops to chargers that were broken or inaccessible for various reasons.
That was a couple of years back, and I think it'd go a bit smoother now. The Chicagoland area has reasonably good charger network outlays (much better than Minneapolis, which is a joke). Still wouldn't be my first choice, but it's workable.
Not sure what your point is. I never said anything to the contrary.
