Thankfully, at our latitudes the sort of temperatures you mention are quite rare, even at night, and rarely persist for more than a few days a year. Unlike somewhere like Norway, where 56% of all cars sold last year were plug-in EVs of one sort or another.
Just curious but you say the range is less in winter. Could you tell me the DETAILS of why you think that is so ???

Thanks in advance cos I love to learn new things.--
