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.
