That's OK. EVs don't have to satisfy every edge case from day one. There are plenty of cities they can serve in less-than-freezing climate. This problem for now

That's OK. EVs don't have to satisfy every edge case from day one. There are plenty of cities they can serve in less-than-freezing climate. This problem for now is solvable by brute-force by maintaining battery temperature, and this seems to work well enough for Norway. Perhaps long routes in freezing temperatures will be a niche where hydrogen fuel cells turn out to be useful, or maybe just incremental improvements of existing battery tech and management will suffice.
