Point:

I’m going to gloat a bit since today was an excellent scenario for an electric vehicle:

Outside temp was 9 degrees F.

Temp inside the garage is 35 degrees F.

Car plugged in overnight; I was able to “remote start” the car in the garage to preheat the cabin, get the seat heaters and steering wheel heat going using current from the wall rather than the propulsion system.

Commute was 25 miles, which I did with 10 electric miles of range left over. Took about an hour to drive that because of the roads and weather conditions.

Parked by the front door of the building in an EV spot.

Car is plugged in and charging; I will remote start it before heading out.

I will return home at the end of my day using my employer’s electrons.

Much more pleasant that driving my cold diesel pickup which sits out overnight.

I didn't need to use those 2 hundredths of a gallon of gasoline. My wife will probably give me a stern lecture for that.
