This is my experience too. Would it be good to get more infrastructure? Yes, for the handful of people that the article mentions. But I also haven’t charged using a public charger for months.

Even now what I have is better for me. I wake up to a fully pre-heated, defrosted car with a full charge. Costs about 1/4 of the price per mile. I actually wait less than I did on my ICE - no petrol station visits and no waiting for it to defrost.

I would also direct people to read the thread of peoples experience of EV ownership in Calgary over the cold spell: https://www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/comments/194yg8x/how_are_yo...

> My partner’s gas car wouldn’t start last night so we took the EV. That’s how it’s going

You don’t see this angle reported in the news.
