The most interesting finding from using EVs in winter is not that they consume more energy (which they do), but that charging is really slow if you don't have battery preheating. Yesterday, I arrived at a 240 kW charger with 33% SoC, the outside temperature was 0°C, and the charging power was only 35 kW (the maximum charging power of the car is 118 kW). With this charging power, it would take 40 minutes to charge to 80% SoC. We don't mind too much because we primarily use the car as a city car and do 95% of our charging at home, but if you want to have an EV as your only car and drive long distances with it even in winter, definitely get one that has battery preheating.

@ondra yes, you can improve it by this, but I drove 50km on highway speeding 120 km/h before charging, so it wasn't completely cold. I don't think you can get the battery to the ideal temperature range (25-30C) just by driving it when it's zero outside.
I would definitely have gone down to a lower SoC if I could, but the next suitable charger was 50 km and I would arrive with like 5% SoC. While travelling with the family I rather play safe. And even with a lower SoC I don't think the charge power would go above 50 kW with a suboptimal battery temperature.

Ten paciencia cuando se confunde.
No la apresures cuando tarda en recordar.
No le quites valor a sus palabras cuando repite una historia que ya conoces.
Porque antes que nada…
sigue siendo tu madre.
La misma que respondió tus preguntas una y otra vez sin cansancio.
La que secó tus lágrimas, incluso cuando no había motivo.
La que veló tu sueño cuando el cuerpo te ardía de fiebre
y el mundo parecía demasiado grande para ti.
Hoy sus pasos son más lentos,
su memoria a veces se dispersa
y su cuerpo se fatiga con facilidad.
Pero su amor no ha cambiado.
Ese amor sigue firme, atento, completo… como siempre lo fue.
Hazla sentir importante.
Hazle saber que su presencia cuenta,
que su risa sigue teniendo lugar
y que su vida no es una carga, sino un regalo.
Abrázala sin prisa.
Escúchala aunque repita.
Quédate un poco más.
Porque llegará un día en que ese lugar quedará vacío,
y darías cualquier cosa
por escucharla contar su historia
una vez más.
Ama hoy.
Cuida hoy.
Porque el amor que se posterga mañana pesa más de lo que imaginas. 🤍
