Hah, I’ve helped plenty of friends over the years with ICE cars that won’t start in the cold but have yet to see a BEV refuse to start just because of cold.

Maybe it’s different here in Southern ……. New England

Southern New England gets cold, but last I was there, few people if any seemed to need battery warmers, and definitely not regularly. I'd expect most cars that are as new as basically any consumer EV to be able to start as fine there.
