    ever tried reading the tabloid headlines during a freak weather event i.e. heat wave? i do agree though that it is an old school thing, the UK has been metric for a long long time now and its got to wait until the "old school" die off before Fahrenheit is forgotten

    " electric vehicles have a long battle to prove that they are as safe as their gasoline and diesel powered counterparts."

    i think they've already proved they are safer than gasoline, they've only got to prove as good in the cold and get a longer range.

    "We also know most of the time (modern cars anyway) they work just fine even in very cold conditions."

    Modern is the operative word here, its taken 60/70 years of development to get the ICE to the state of reliability. Now everyone is expecting Electric cars to be at that state of development in a very short time. THey are doing a fantastic job considering the development timescale so far, once the battery issue is solved to give a long range of driving then it'll be great.

    Thats the problem of 2 types of measurement. In the UK if its cold the general public tend to use celcius because 0C looks "colder" than 32F and if its hot we use Fahrenheit because 90F looks "hotter" than 32C.
