His response always is more details, very simple people ( most people) will not be able to plug in all night to keep the batteries warm. Also where does he think all this electricity is going to come from at night? This is part of the elitist part of the EV world. Just like masks see I am better than you I care.Probably indeed (less capacity/range drop when operating an EV in Toronto during winter than in comparison to Winnipeg).
However, Toronto (and maybe let's say also Montreal) might be perfect places in Canada to consider as examples for the discussion about winter temperatures, EV operations and ICE block heaters. That is, cold enough to require EVs to be extensively plugged in but not so cold to have previously resulted in extensive ICE block heater use, practises and infrastructure.
