i'm not a fan of those "true milage no matter what conditions" a half charged EV up north during winter would cut that 150 miles to 75 miles (at around minus 10 celsius which is common in Canada). i wouldn't dare to go very far with that.

It all depends on your use case. It can get below zero F here (northern Minnesota) for weeks at a time, but I don't regularly drive more than 10 miles round trip.

As a second/town vehicle, a cheaper EV sounds great for conditions I can't use the e-assist cargo bike.

In my experience, at -20C you lose about 10 miles of range to get the car up to temperature, plus about 20% of range to keep the car at temperature.
