Above is a photo of the MiEV - the Mitsubishi In-wheel motor Electric Vehicle. Alternatives like the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt offer options to consumers looking for non-gas-guzzling vehicles
An important question to ask is how these electric vehicles will fair over the course of a frigid Canadian winter. Batteries can lose 20-50% of their charge due to cold temperatures.
Websites like http://www.evcanada.org/ represent interest-group campaigns that promote the uptake of zero-emission vehicles by Canadians. But if these vehicles lose half their range for six months during the year, do they become impractical?
What do you think?
