I will say, though, that we get better efficiency if we can pre-heat the car before leaving in the morning on cold days, and use the seat warmers instead of the heater whenever possible. I lived in Chicago for most of my life and lived in a high rise until 2016 when we moved to LA. If you can talk to your management company about having a charger installed in the garage, that would help a lot. You'd be able to charge at home, obviously, but also be able to have the car plugged in when it was warming up (and you could warm it up from your apartment -- always great in February!!). Two owners in our building had Teslas and paid to have chargers installed at their parking spots. Might be something you could get the association or management company to agree to, especially since there will be more and more EVs in the building in the coming years, no doubt.
