The science is the range indicator can say a lower number when the battery is cold. But you get your range back once the battery heats up. Thermal management is really good on recent models. Doesn't really matter because it's rare to drive 300+km in a day even in the US.
It doesn't matter if you're driving 45min to work, your car was charged overnight and most workplaces offer charging.
I certainly do at ~$12/gal.
I'd love to see that science.
No one cares about range on their commute to work...
