I was not planning on driving it in winter; sadly my main drive got into an accident and I had to pull it out of storage.

However, even at worst, I might use 60% of the battery in a day. I can easily charge 20-30 overnight so I generally make it back over a few days. Having a few bad days might result in me hitting the free L2 charger at the grocery store for an hour or two.

It isn't optimal so I've been looking at switching my garage door to a 240V charger. However, in actuality, I haven't had any major problems so holding off until I renovate the garage makes a lot of sense (I am planning on adding ground mount solar from which I intend on charging it but that's another story)

Oh; and likewise, I've never had a car build up so much snow. I assume it is due to efficiency or whatever, but my Toyota Sienna and my old Ford Mustang never required me to really get rid of all the snow to drive normally. Calgary also doesn't really plow the snow, so it's a problem on the once or twice a month that it snows and a few days after (until the snow melts)
