👌👍

Never once in 25 years of living in northern Maine have I had an ICE engine not start in the cold. Fuck I can't remember even diesel engines falling because of glow plugs.

Yet on the first 0 day I can recall in a few years I have three friends stuck.

I'll believe this shit when I see some actual data that isn't a random company in Norway.

You're not wrong. Where I live, we just had an entire week where the highest temp we got to was 5°F and the coldest without wind chill was -20°F. My ICE started fine every time without issue. Like the article says itself, this is only really applicable to older ICE cars sometimes having issues in the winter. Give it another decade and then we can get a more accurate picture on reliability (note: I do hope that EVs continue to be reliable en masse after that much time, I'm not anti-EV or anything).
