Cannot handle cold is a bit extreme. My EV averages around 232 miles of range now (7 years old) charging to 80% is about 185-190 miles of range. When the temperatures dip to into the negatives, I can get about 110-120 miles comfortably (heat on/heated seats, heated wheel). Am I road tripping in that temperature range, no. But a daily commute and cold soaking in the office parking lot is still easily accomplished.

A while back we had a prolonged power outage and our supercharger was pretty backed up with people that couldn't charge at home. My guess is the picture above is a similar situation. People running their cars down and then getting stuck in a supercharger line while their heater sucks down what little power they have left.

I agree, hydrogen technology and anything else that can bring sustainability to transportation is great, but saying one option we currently have available can't work in heat or cold is a stretch.
