Letting your car run out of battery charge is just as stupid as letting it run out of gas. It's not the car's fault.

Except that generally speaking, your gas tank doesn't really change capacity that much based on the weather -- the fact you have to idle it is obviously a concern, but typically your fuel economy doesn't dramatically change because the weather outside changes. By contrast, I've heard and seen an EV in very cold winter weather basically become a brick until it spends some time in a nice heated space, and then it only wakes up until you bring it back outside and the battery freezes again.

I've done really long road trips in extraordinarily cold weather. I used to live in the far north, and I still work up there occasionally. You're not losing 80% of your travel capacity or anything like that.
