Everyone who says “EVs are expensive” compares high end luxury models with basic gas cars. Is is true that basic EVs are rare but the Chinese are going to change that(which is another problem)

Again. Incorrect. EVs are cheaper because of energy and maintenance costs. As soon as gasoline subsidies stop, EVs will be cheaper across the board.

15% of a small amount is not a significant difference. Quoting from the article: However, modern EVs equipped with advanced thermal management systems can maintain up to 97% of their range even in sub-zero temperatures.
