If you're not in arctic negative degree conditions, you will survive longer in an electric car than a combustible engine vehicle, if stranded in a whiteout. I had my cynical eyes opened to electrical cars and their use in the winter from reading their actual stats. No exhaust to breathe while parked idling either that will kill you. Again, Norway says they suck, Alaska they'd suck, but I'm in Michigan and even in our harsh winters an electric car can handle it fine. This is coming from someone who detests electric cars. They scar the earth with it's mining of battery components. Oil is a renewable resource, don't believe the lies it's a fossil fuel. Hybrids will be the way to go.
