Based on my experience and knowledge of rash winters in Finland there is couple of things wrong in your blog post. It is constantly here more than -15C and couple of weeks with more than -30C
Let me correct some claims that are just incorrect or need explanation:
"A typical 20-mile commute to work can result in an 18% battery drain in freezing temperatures."

While this is true it is only because you start with cold cabin twice a day and initial heating to target temperature uses 7kW of energy for major part of your journey. If you start pre-heated that drops to 1kW ish for the whole duration of the trip.

"A full day of parking outdoors at work can consume an additional 20% of the charge."
This is not true. In truth the drain is typically 0-1%. If you lose 20% during workday there is something wrong in your cat.
