If it matters, my vehicle is in a SFH's attached garage and I have a home charger.
Garage is not insulated so its usually only 10-15 degrees warmer in the garage than it is outside. But that does help.
However, I go to the gym in the mornings (hence driving it at below 0 F) and was inside for over an hour. Cranked up fine when I came out.
Our other vehicle is a HEV Rav4. No problems with that one either but it was driven less during this period.
I agree with AZ Craig but would take it a step further. Having a BEV or PHEV makes no sense if you can't charge at home IF you live in cold climates.
