EVs have crossed the benchmarks of range, ease of charging and resilience. You need to update yourself with the latest news. On the cost front Tesla model 3 and Y are already comparable from price perspective to equivalent ICE vehicles in the US market. The Chinese options like BYD are even cheaper.
As for cold weather battery performance, look at the sales figures of EVs in Norway, a very cold country, in Norway 90% of all cars sold were EVs in March. The battery tech is improving in that front too.
Summary is ICE vehicles are dead, EV is the future.
He certainly doesn't look like a guy in financial distress. If he needs 140K AUD for his wife's treatment, he can sell his BMW SUV and get a second hand Toyota camry or RAV4 and use the rest of the money, plus he can sell his Tesla and BYD stocks, stop buying BYD Atto3 and ordering Cyber Truck. Then he should have sufficient money to treat his wife. Why go begging on gofundme when you did not use your own money and assets to treat your wife first?
