They work down to -10. And colder than that too. Apologies to Mitch Hedberg.

Only if they have the ability to stop charging if the battery pack is below freezing, and some way to heat the pack (and keep it) above freezing. Otherwise, charging in those temps will destroy the battery.

Leaf can heat the pack, just no cooling
