I'm actually not so sure the other EVs -- Spark EV, Fiat 500e, or even Focus EV would have much less range drop than the FEV. I think GM and Chrysler had the good sense or forethought not to lease/sell back east due to the cold weather. One wonders what Honda was thinking. I read that Focus EV...

RE VW, I guess I didn't read the article fully, I just skimmed it and read the headline.. apparently, VW coming out with a line of Plug In, not full EVs... http://insideevs.com/volkswagen-to-go-all-in-on-electric-vehicles-to-establish-where-global-demand-lies/ As for LEAF, that's interesting...
