Range loss during freezing weather only matters if you need that range during freezing weather. Given that most people are mainly commuting a relatively short distance it’s not really an issue.
If you’re charging at home you are topped up every morning anyway. My commute needs 10% battery and I honestly couldn’t tell you the winter impact because it doesn’t matter, just plug in at night and fully charged in the morning.
Also if you don’t do long trips in the winter and you can charge at home there are a few benefits:
* Remote/Timed defrost/pre-heat. There were probably 10 mornings last winter that I got into a fully defrosted and preheated car while the neighbours were scraping their windows.
* No need to visit petrol stations. This is an all-year thing but it is time saved and in the winter you’re not standing in a forecourt in those freezing conditions.
