Summary

Norway’s annual El Prix winter EV test assesses real-world electric vehicle range and charging performance in extreme cold (down to –27 °C), under conditions comparable to those in Canadian winters.

Chinese electric vehicles performed strongly, ranking among the top ten models for cold-weather efficiency and fast charging due to improved battery preconditioning and thermal management.

Results challenge assumptions about Chinese EVs, showing rapid gains in build quality and winter reliability, while leaving long-term ownership experience as the remaining open question

China has some cold areas with climates similar to many Canadian cities so I would expect fairly good results. Unlike my friends Tesla where cruise control wouldn't work in winter because it relied on cameras that would get snow covered (obviously designed and treated in sunny California).
