Think electric cars can’t handle winter? Think again! On a freezing cold morning, my Tesla Model Y makes defrosting effortless. With just a tap on the Tesla app, you can activate the defrost feature and watch as the car transforms from a frosty winter cube to a warm, ready-to-drive vehicle—all while you stay cosy indoors!
One of the best winter benefits of an EV is the ability to preheat the car at the touch of a button or even schedule it for the same time every morning. No scraping ice off the windscreen, no waiting for the engine to warm up—just instant comfort. And guess what? It only uses a tiny amount of battery charge, so you’re saving energy compared to idling a petrol or diesel car, which wastes fuel and emits harmful pollution into the air that your children then have to breathe in.
Sure, EVs experience some efficiency loss in cold weather, but so do petrol and diesel cars. The difference? In an EV, you can stay warm in traffic jams without guzzling fuel or pumping out toxic fumes. Plus, most EV owners charge at home overnight, so the slight drop in range during winter is barely noticeable. No extra trips to the petrol station—just plug in at home, taking only seconds of your time.
This is just one of the many ways electric cars make winter driving more convenient, eco-friendly, and enjoyable. Watch the video to see the Tesla defrost magic in action, and let me know in the comments if you think EVs are the future of winter driving!
