Just don't try to drive through Atlanta during rush hour or any other time of day when there has been a wreck. The battery would go dead before you made it across town. Last Thursday I had to go to Atlanta for a meeting. It was raining. Of course there were accidents. It took me 2 hours to get across town after I made it to Atlanta. What a mess.
It’s actually the opposite of what you think. An EV can sit in traffic for days. It’s the motive forces that use energy. AC or heat is a small percentage of energy used. If you are going to be stuck in traffic, summer or winter, an EV is a good place to be stuck.
