What do you think is most dire?
(three suggested answer would be charge rate, capacity and price)
I sort of think that if you look at progress over the last 15 years, factors of 2 aren't dire.

My understanding is that Lithium based batteries (and lots if not all others) have unfavorable properties at human-cold temps. When at -5 or -10C say they work pretty poorly, slowing charge, discharge and capacity.
The Chevy Bolt (released for the 2017 model year) has a battery cooler and heater. If I recall correctly, the Volt (even older) had a similar system.
