You can start gasoline cars just fine down to 20 or 30 below, so long as you keep a good battery in it. Sometimes big diesel trucks use block heaters but gasoline cars don't need them.
Gasoline powered engines work just fine in these temperatures, although many cars come with auto ignition systems that start up the engine periodically throughout the night to keep it warm. Otherwise you might have to warm it yourself in the morning using a gasoline powered "torch" (or whatever it's called), which sometimes ends up with the car going up in flames.
So it's honestly pretty funny to read that EV work "down to -10°C". Although probably relatively few of us are desperate enough to be living in such conditions.
And in places like Fairbanks where -40 (F/C) is fairly common in the winter, even cars that merely have an engine block heater will have trouble. You need even more heating pads for the rest of the stuff under the hood of you want to keep a car reliable and healthy in that kind of climate.
Now when you move just a bit off the sea, the continental climate kicks in, and you have weeks of -15 -- -20C.
On discharging lithium chemistries at those temperatures or "easily overcame with resistive" let me say that: you just don't know what you are talking about.
