I Idled in an Electric Car for 12 Hours in the Freezing Cold

4. I was presented with a horror story earlier today

from Yahoo News:

A brother and sister say they had to stop 6 times in one day to charge their rented Tesla in cold weather after the battery drained quickly

They say they knew the electric car would need charging en route — and expected it to take longer after the weather turned so cold in late December — but what the siblings didn't expect was just how often they'd need to plug it in.

Xaviar Steavenson told Insider it got to the point that the "battery would drain faster than it would charge."

When they set off, Steavenson said, they could drive for at least 2 ½ hours before needing to charge the Tesla. "We ended up having to stop every one to 1 ½ hours to charge for an hour, then an hour and a half, then two hours," he said.

I think the article was suggested to me because I googled Teslas after learning about their cool camera system. lol.
