If there aren't warmers on the battery, the batteries lose 30% of their 'ability' by 32F and 50% by 0F and 80% at -10F. They also need warmers to take charge as quickly at those temps. This was just on 'Good Question' on WCCO news last night.
Nissan says range will diminish 30-40% at colder temperatures. So 100 miles turns into 60-70 which is still fine for an urban commuter.
