Yeah I think Mazda is definitely one of the front-runners. I'm aware of the diminished range on EVs as a result of severe cold - but we wouldn't go long distances in it anyway. The furthest we'd go in it would be to my parents house which is 55 miles away - so as long as it can do ~125 miles of range in cold weather, then it'll be plenty of range. And even then, we typically go as a family to my parents house and would likely take the X7.
