If you live in the north, lithium ion batteries are not a great bet for longevity of a vehicle. There are legitimate reasons to not be pro EV in their current form.

The batteries on modern EV's have full dedicated heating and cooling systems. They will not charge until they heat up to charging temperature.
Discharging in the cold and sitting in the cold are not bad for the batteries, but it does limit available power.
Believe it or not, Canada has a robust EV market.
People say this, but some of the most popular places for Lightnings are in Canada. And I don't mean BC. They seem to enjoy how well it handles cold weather.
