With the weather changing
to frigid temperatures, people
have to rely more and more
on their vehicles according to
J.D. Power.
Ever since the first creation
of the motorized vehicle in
1886 by Carl Benz, cars have
advanced to accommodate
their owners.

This drive by car manu-
facturers has led to the rise

of two types of cars, gas and
electric.

There have been many re-
search studies conducted on

what type of car does better

in extreme weather over the
years, ending in a tie almost
every time according to J.D.
Power.
One person that actively
drives a gas vehicle and feels
that it is more reliable than
electric cars is sophomore
Chelsea Milligan.

“I think gas is more effi-
cient because there are more

gas stations than charge sta-
tions for electric cars,” said

Milligan. “My car has done a
great job for me allowing me
to get where I need to go with
limited issues.”
One person that holds a
different belief and finds that

electric vehicles have per-
formed better in cold weather

is Andrew Nguyen.
“I have owned an electric
vehicle for 2 years now and

think that it’s way more con-
venient in colder weather be-
cause I do not have to leave

my vehicle after charging it at
my house,” said Nguyen. “It
totally depends on what your
commuting needs are, but I

enjoy my electric vehicle be-
cause of all its safety features

and overall convenience in
my daily life.”

According to the USA To-
day both types of cars have

performed well and have done
a great job at providing safety
and serving their customers.
