Your second point is basically agreeing that electric cars are better at starting in the cold, where all you're doing is explaining why. Maybe I missed what your second point of disagreement was.

Because the problem with ev is that the battery drains charge faster in the cold, charges slower in the cold, and struggles to charge at all if its too cold.

So if you have juice, starting is fine. But the cold problems for ev is that the cold is functionally drinking your gas for you, not that the engine cant turn over.

not that the engine cant turn over.

Funny you use this phrase, when the actual action of "turning over" isn't something electric vehicles can even do :D

Windows dont roll down either, phones dont ring, and that weird square for my save icon means nothing to me.
