I beat the Porsche Taycan's EPA range even in winter
Are EVs terrible in cold weather? Don't be so sure.

Net battery pack will conclude to few (4 miles) more than EPA, which is nice but less impressive

Right I noticed that too - the author was assuming you have access to the entire nominal pack size . Still good though

For what it is worth, I took delivery of my CT Turbo S (on 20' winter tires) two days before Xmas in Switzerland, drove about 600 miles in a few trips varying just a few minutes to a about one or two hours in temperature at or around freezing. My average is just about 28 to 29 kWh/100km. For comparison, sale documents particular to my car mention 25.2 kWh/100km. That is about 15% more than "normal".
