If you drive an ICE car bought in say California to where it gets to -20c and park it outside it won’t start either since most likely the dealership didn’t include a block heater in your package.



not true, i don't see anyone on my street plugging in and we get -30 or lower some days, though probably not good for the engine but yes they will start no problem.


Sure, maybe if the car is 40 years old. But every modern gas car (and all the diesels I've owned) will handle it just fine.
