It’s really the only reason I haven’t bought one, as I regularly travel across Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and especially in the wintertime I understand the range is even less because of the cold.

A thing to note here: There has been almost no demand for electric cars until very recently (I’d say 7 to 10 years).
Low demand equals low investment in R&D.
Just look at for how long combustion engines have been used in cars and try to imagine the amounts of money that have been poured into it.
And even if that money would keep flowing, combustion engines would not get that much better.
But just in the last five years there have been astonishing leaps in EV battery technology, because now everyone wants one.
The statement:” All EVs suck in the winter” is already not true anymore. Sure you’ll loose some range, but it’s not as extreme as it was just a few years ago due to new kinds of batteries and other technologies.
And seeing that a lot of countries and car manufacturers already announced that they go full electric sometime in the next 20-30 years the research is just going to continue until we have cars with comparable or better range than gas powered.
