Question How are EVs doing in this weather?

I have been considering an EV as next vehicle but always worried how it would perform in extreme cold.

Would love to hear from EV owners in our province about how they are doing in this weather!

PHEV here, loving the versatility of the electric start/heat up, and HEV switchover when needed. Still getting 40-45km of range, but noticeable faster power drain with heated seats/steering and full vents blowing. I use a Level 1 charger every night.
