The problem is that getting these vehicles to do simple things like "work in cold weather" is a challenge to begin with. And they still haven't figured put how to tow without losing all range, work for a full day of driving, or build an electric minivan. Their pipedream of replacing all gas powered vehicles with electric conveniently ignores the fact that there isn't a solution, much less an affordable one, for all vehicles. A buddy of mine owns a business with at least a dozen work vans that are out for at least 10 hours a day on jobs hauling stuff and going from site to site. He sat in on a meeting where politicians were asking business owners how long it would take to replace all their vehicles with electric. To them, this was a forgone conclusion, and they just wanted to know what date to put in a bill for mandatory compliance. He told them he'll never be able to afford to replace his vans because the electric vehicles can't haul as much or be in use all day without charging. And even if he bought extra vehicles and hired more people to get through a whole workday, he'd have to triple or quadruple what he charges. Effectively he'd be out of business unless someone else picked up at least 80% of the cost of the EVs.
