Kudos to you, Toronto, for being a leader! I hope the US gets out of bed with oil companies and follows suit. NICE! Kudos to you, Toronto, for being a leader!

Works like a charm - just ask Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear :-) A Tesla’s battery is both both heated and cooled by circulating liquid to keep it in the optimum temperature range.

Thats unusual weather, but it's consistently below 40. They'd work, but not nearly as well. Well, in the Finger Lakes region right now it’s… well, below 0 degrees.

(Borat, I'm not saying that you are an idiot, just that some folks on here are ruthless about shooting first and asking questions later) So, how does an electric vehicle work in a cold clmate, as far as heating and a/c goes? ("Gundy, you stupid, worthless idiot, I can't believe you don't know as much as I do, the answer is..."... ) I was going to ask the same thing as Borat, but knowing that I’d probably get crucified for being such a worthless idiot as to not know everything about Toronto, I didn’t..

Don't forget, heat is the enemy of electronics - things aren't going to be great at 120F either.

Today it is 15 F with some nice windchill factor. The battery in regular car wen crank-crank before starting engine. What are the chances of driving electric car today? And if it will start and go how far do you get? Electric cars are best suited for warmer then 50F (10C) climates, nothing north of DC. It probably will not work well in NYC either.

Thank you for advice, I'll read Wikipedia to measure the temperature precisely. I'll give advise as well: don't expose boys between November and beginning of April and please don't eat yellow snow. Andy, you can use the same advise and also don't drop pennies form CN tower, not that it would hurt anyone. Now regarding physics, batteries work better and last longer in wormier then Ontario climate. CanGo87, you are brilliant guy, you don’t have to post your brilliance twice.

It had better have a heavy duty electric heater because way down here in NY state it is 12 degrees farenheit- well below zero in centigrade or celsius or whatever you Canucks call it. Think aboot it, Toronto is like Canada's Miami. California and Canada… a match made in hippie heaven.

Israel is subtropical country, Australia (except for deep south) never gets snow, Denmark although in northern part of Europe positioned next to Atlantic Ocean, North Sea that never freezes and keeps even winters above freezing mark. Ontario is frozen from about October till May. Just guess how effective electric batteries in the winter (8 months a year)? Here is a little footnote.
