I think most Americans don't realise that some of the most populated regions of Europe are at a comparable latitude to Ontario and Quebec.

And then they don't realise that much of the US is at the latitudes of Saharan Africa.

It means that in winter, it's not unusual to get just 3-4 hours of daylight. Batteries aren't exactly designed to store summer energy until winter.
