When you go out to your unheated car when it is -20F it will barely turn over because the battery is so inefficient at that temperature.
I have a friend with a Chevy Volt and it will not even go 20 miles in the winter on cold days. And they keep it in a heated garage. They will not park it on the street or travel more than a few miles from home when it is cold because the fear getting stranded because the batteries might get to cold while parked at the store, movie, show, restaurant etc…

I must respectfully say your full of Baloney and may not know what you are talking about.
A Chevy VOLT is a plug in hybrid designed to run on batteries or gasoline so even if you say battery runs out at 20 miles the gasoline engine is fed by a 8.9 gallon fuel tank.
One thing I enjoy about posts here is people make up a lot of stuff to fit their narrative without knowing anything!
