  Thank you for providing good insight to EV ownership in cold weather, based on your experience and not just dwelling on the numbers.

  I appreciate your content and willingness to spend time helping people understand their EVs.  Good stuff and all true.  I know the topic was winter EVs in general... would you consider a deeper dive video specifically on how efficiency for a road trip is affected.  We live in a rural area where negative temps(F) are likely for a few weeks and public charging is sparse (or nonexistent).

  Purchased my first 2026 Equinox EV because of your channel. Have owned a lot of cars in my 62 years of life and I have to agree with you!! This is by far my favorite car that I have ever owned. Thank you for your great videos and helping me pull the trigger on my first EV, love it!! Even in the Massachusetts winter's,  USA.

  I have been researching evs for 3 years now...a wonderful journey in for my add brain. Bought a Trailseeker 1 month ago and Love it! So many upsides to making this move. I live in pa and see $4.59 for a gallon of gas at the local station. Thank You, EVI for this thoughtful and clearly expressed video. Subscribed and look forward to many more!

  Worry about EV range is way overblown. Long road trip is the only thing to really consider, and plan accordingly. Everything else is non factors.

  Keep it simple. &nbsp; <br><br>Any EV will be the best winter vehicle you have ever owned. &nbsp; <br><br>No sense adding confusion to the planning.<br><br>My house north of Quebec City - normal winter temp is -30C and colder. &nbsp; Every house in my neighbourhood is EV and no one would consider anything else in future.

  Honestly my gas guzzler took a massive hit in range in the winter too. People never talk about that. In the summer I get 450km a tank in best case scenario, typical is closer to 400km and in winter is 350km. Which is similar to an EV.

  Another tip I use is turning the heat off and using seat heat 10 minutes or so before I arrive. Small saving but helpful for level one charging.
