Mine charges below 5F, even below zero on a 30amp outlet.
Yes if cold I have to schedule a little earlier so it has time to warm the pack before charging. I did have this sort of bite me once when I needed a range charge in the morning and when I got up told it to do the last 10% and it didn't because it took too long to warm the pack before I left but chalk that up to owner error, I learned from it.
Here near Green Bay we have had a bunch of -10f or a little colder morning already this winter and I haven't had any trouble parked outside and I leave early, and have a short commute and being middleaged with kids I am home right after work so it is often parked for 6-7 hours before the scheduled charging starts, and then only charges for a 2-3 hours, only that long because the battery warmup at lunch or when I leave work has consumed a handful of miles.
