Gas vs EV in extreme cold

I have. Range loss in extreme cold is more than double that of ICE vehicles, and charging is significantly slower in many situations. That’s a more probable issue than the outliers you listed. If you have credible stats suggesting otherwise, I’m sure we‘d all be interested. But again, EV owners can take steps to be better prepared for winter, some haven’t learned yet.
I lose about 35% in the cold. ICE vehicles lose about 20-25%. For me "Cold" is about 0*f. I also get near instant heat in my EV. Literally every year my neighbor's group chat goes crazy about "My car/tractor/whatever won't start/stay running/just dies". Never made a post like that myself with my EV.
