I too leased a '24 Ioniq 5 last summer. I live in Denver. It's been below zero here in the last week, and is often in the low teens at night. But I knew the limitiations of EV's in cold weather prior to leasing. I have a garage, a charger, and would never have gotten an EV without those. I can pre-heat and precondition the battery prior to driving. It makes a world of difference. With the car all warm when I start, I only use the seat heater. No problems. Yes, range has taken a hit in the cold, but not that much. Probably around 15% for me. And in the warmer months, my range has actually been much greater than the 260 miles it's supposed to get, usually around 300. Took it skiing last week, and up and back it averaged 4.0 miles per kilowatt hour. That's mountain driving, so I used a lot of energy to get there, but almost none to get home. So I am completely satisfied with winter performance for me. It's been a great car so far!
