Drivers reported that batteries failed to charge in sub-zero temperatures and recessed door handles remained frozen shut. Experts noted that EV range can decrease by 41% in 20-degree weather and that batteries must be preconditioned before they can accept a high-speed charge.

While Tesla Superchargers take approximately 45 minutes, traditional gasoline refueling takes five minutes, leading to predictions of massive queues during peak travel times. Some argue this inefficiency could lower national GDP by two percentage points due to lost productivity.
