Electric vehicle generates much less waste heat. So much less that while a heater in a tradition car uses the waste heat for the inside cabin, the electric must turn on electric heaters and pull away more energy from the batteries.
...Which is the bugaboo at this latitude. "Fighting global warming" (AKA "climate change") is a double whammy, because, if effective, we'd be back to the months of zero for a high temperature and the batteries would have to work overtime to keep the cabin temperature survivable. As it is, with approximately 130 miles between major towns, just getting there (without any loiter time for impassable road conditions or mishaps), would be questionable, and a round trip would be out of the question with current tech.
I suppose it would spell the end of mass events, because the need for charging capacity at or near the venue would put a lot of load on a localized system.
