Google: Norway EVs.

Thanks. I find that quite fascinating, honestly. How is it that in the Americas, EVs - or at least Teslas and their charging stations were failing but in Norway apparently this is not an issue they face.

In the U.S. extreme heat and extreme cold is bad for the electrical grid. He have blackouts / brownouts and rolling blackouts during these extreme weather/temperature conditions.

First of all, you need to check your attitude. I don't know why you're being so aggressive.

Second, I'm not a liar. I fucking live here and my cousin who has TWO Teslas for his family has never encountered any problems. I have other relatives who have other EVs from different makes who never had problems. The vast majority of people with EVs here, even in the northern regions where it gets fucking cold, don't have problems.

And third, Tesla's get stranded everywhere, regardless of temperature or weather, more than any other EVs, mainly because they're poorly built PoS cars.

I think Teslas get stranded because they lie about their remaining range
