I noticed there isnt really a car community on Lemmy, but some of you guys must be driving cars....!

Im only asking because I just leased a new Volvo XC-40 and its amazing to drive. Really, really happy every time i get into it. Also because the music system is pretty damn good and I can play deezer songs and also music from usb stick. :)

I have a colleague driving that car, he likes it a lot :) He took it up to Swedish winter conditions too without any issues. You can charge those things at Tesla stations appearently, at least in Sweden.

I've noticed a significant loss of battery life in sub-freezing temperatures, but that's to be expected. I haven't yet had the pleasure of testing in icy or snowy conditions, which I expect to never encounter now that I finally have a vehicle with AWD.

I believe that there are adapters for Tesla chargers, but I have a 240V/50A circuit at home that gives me Level 2 charging, enough for a full charge in nine hours.

Yeah it did lose about half it's capacity in the cold but like you said, that's normal for all electric cars.
