Yes reduced range is very important- especially when you live in a cold climate where range is already significantly reduced from that. The cold climate also speeds up the degradation of the battery.

Do you have experience? Adoption of EV vehicles in Norway is really high without much issue, and it's likely colder than wherever you live. Plus, 400km is a lot. The average commute in America is 66km. 400km might be used on a fairly long road trip, but if you can charge in 10m it's not really an issue. The everyday experience is just plug it in at home and it's done by morning. No gas station visits or anything else.

Most Norwegians also have much more disposable income than I. I wouldn't buy a new gas powered car either.

Sure. That's probably true but has nothing to do with the viability of EVs on a cold climate.

Nor does their market share in a cold climate where people can afford many more luxury goods- replaced more often.

They aren't just replacing them. That's a disingenuous argument. The fear mongering that EVs can't work in cold climates is just mostly made up. There are plenty of ways to handle it that saying they don't make sense is a horrible argument.
