It's winter, here. Snow on the ground, mild temperatures in the mid twenties (above zero)--it's just getting started.
This is definitely not the time of year to try and tell me that these vehicles with their limited range and capacity for keeping the cabin warm on a trip of over 100 miles in sparsely populated areas are anything approaching safe.
There is no guarantee I won't freeze to death some day, but the way the greenies are going, I will be able to do that in the comfort of my home.
At least this way, I have the option of starting the ride and turning the heater on.
