Tesla charging stations become ‘car graveyards’ as batteries die in subzero temperatures, abandoned cars left in the lot after cars wouldn’t charge::undefined

    Ooh, ok. That makes quite a lot of sense. Especially if one uses the miles/km number to show battery state, people are gonna get screwed by the cold. I changed that thing to percentages pretty soon after I got the car.

    I honestly don’t understand why people are buying EVs if they don’t have the option of home charging.

    Yeah, that doesn’t make much sense.

      From what I’ve seen/heard, people think they’re trying to beat the system by using which ever free network was included when they bought the car. Thus, never charging at home for the 2 free years.
