What, Toronto businesses don't have block heater plug ins for employees? Out here there are 110v plugs all over the place, since an ICE can have a hard time starting after sitting for 8 hours or so on a cold day. One reason Manitoba should be great for EV's; we're used to plugging in our cars all winter anyway!
The lakes around Toronto limit the temperatures. So even though Toronto feels colder than Winnipeg it's actually warmer.
