Possibly purchasing a 27 Vistiq Sport, how do Canadians find the range?
I put a deposit down today on a white Vistiq Sport. The dealership suggested this as the Vistiq is selling so fast they can't keep them in stock. They did not have any for me to test drive so I'm going in a little blind. The one I put a deposit on should be here in a couple weeks. Everything looks so nice from what I see online. I need 3 rows and the Escalade IQ is a bit out of my budget so this seems like a nice compromise. It can still tow 5000lbs too like my current SUV, which is a plus.
However, the range is my only concern. I used to have a 2018 Volt (my ex has it now). The EV battery range would half in the winter and that worries me. The manager told me it isn't an issue with the Vistiq but I wanted to know what people who actually drive one have to say. I mostly stay in town, occasionally driving to visit my mom 350km away and other road trips.
How is the range for those in colder winter climates? Does the cold affect range and charging a lot or is it negligible? I'm trying to be more informed instead of impulse-buying like I always do.
I was originally looking at a 26 Tahoe but the Vistiq is the same price and not gas/diesel. I want to move away from a gas car if I can.
