I'm not talking about jet aircraft. I'm talking about Pipers, Cessnas, Aerostars and countless other piston engine aircraft used in general aviation by hundreds of thousands of people.
The same people also go through a pre-flight checklist that covers all major safety aspects of the plane. When was the last time you saw someone walking around a car with a clipboard before they commute to work in the morning?
My point is that EVs take a different type of preparation than fossil fuel engines and it's neither fair nor productive to expect them to behave 100% identically. But it seems a lot of people are deliberately missing that point for some reason and focusing on the fact I brought up aircraft.
We are not talking about small differences in use, what is not being disputed is the large drop in range from parking overnight in cold weather. This is a big deal to northern climate folks. This is not a characteristic of gas or diesel.
Going further, I fully charge at home, leave for work, work a longer than average day, then get in my car to go home. Cold isn't only at night. I can see problems and I'm only commuting 40 miles to work (almost all highway).
