You lose some range in the freezing weather, and I can only speak for Tesla, but they heat and cool their batteries for optimal temps. Again, I come back to, if the range of the vehicle is a real world 250-300 miles on a full charge and let's just say its 150-200 miles in 0 degree temps, as long as your round trip commute is less than 150 miles which the overwhelming majority of people are, then you're still in good shape.
