Having complained about the battery not warming up in my previous post I now feel that this car is lethal on winter roads. We have the best studless winter tyres (Continental Viking Contact 7), but setting off with a supposedly heated battery, we have no regen for the first 10km at sub zero temperatures. We currently have very icy roads at -15c and with no regen you HAVE to use the brakes. I have very little or no control of the car. At least with a manual ICE car you can go through the gears to slow down the vehicle, but with an electric car that’s impossible. I must stress again that we don’t have this issue with our Kona regardless of the outside temperatures. Mazda needs to sort it urgently as serious accidents will happen!
