I was just thinking how miserable a trip to Vancouver would be in the extreme cold. You'd lose a good 30-50% of your range, not be charging to 100%, and be dealing with slow charge rates as battery conditioning is needed more.

You could maybe make it to Lake Louise, then Golden, then probably Revelstoke, then Kamloops, then Hope. So that's at least 5 stops, and with cold temps charging is slow, so you may be an hour or more at each stop. Now imagine a near future when 20% of the vehicles doing that trip are EV's...I question how many sane people will do that more than once.
