Minus 35 celsius temps will kill a battery twice as fast, no matter what kind of condition it's in. Hell, I have a battery blanket around my standard car battery just to ensure I can get a few extra cranks out of it before it dies completely, in case the car is rough starting in the morning.
You'd be lucky to make it to the end of the street with one of those electric cars up here.
In the interim why aren't motorcycles pushed more?

Mostly because you can't take 2 kids and wife on it at the same time, oh, weather is a whole another thing.
And of course, during an accident, in car, your survival rate is very high compared to almost instead death on bikes.

Electric cars are stupid until the point that we can create zero emissions electricity.
We already can, it's called solar, wind, and water generated electricity.

Ask my smashed and rebuilt ankle and arm why motorcycles aren't the best choice for transportation. Besides, I don't live in a Third World country where everybody jams the streets with scooters and bicycles and cows piled high with produce.

Good find and very nice thread you posted.
Ontario is just finishing up with the moth balling of all of our Coal plants.
Ontario just finished up mandating smart meters for electricity.
Ontario just went into debt to the tune of California and then some.
Ontario promotes green energy at a very astounding cost.
Electric bills are through the roof.
Ontario offers a tax rebate/credit when you purchase a electric/smart vehicle.
Does any of the above make sense?
