TBH, perhaps the more general problem is that EVs aren't fully ready for dense cities yet. Or maybe dense cities aren't ready for EVs.
According to Wikipedia, it has never been anywhere close to that cold in Oslo. And yet, due to the climate change effect on the arctic jet stream, Chicago sees this kind of temperature for a few days in 2-3 out of every 5 winters.
People lose heat through evaporation, which is worse if there's wind.
Objects don't, and normal wind speeds are usually well below driving speeds anyway.
I have no clay cars sadly, not sure how ordinary cars handle wind chill.
Normal warm days. They sold too many teslas for the number of charging stations available for the cold climate.
My take is that this is one of the inevitable complications discovered along the energy transition path. Lesson here: Making and selling cars is the first hurdle, and they got over it. Build a factory, build a marketing apparatus, get them out there. Placing fixed assets to support the service needs in individual markets is lagging behind - a process may not be in place to anticipate and support market adoption at current pace.
