Quebec driver here. Cold-weather range anxiety is a distinct and legitimate category that deserves its own treatment. At -25°C I'm losing 35–40% on my Ioniq 6 regardless of pre-conditioning — the battery chemistry doesn't fully overcome ambient at that temperature. It's not irrational anxiety; it's calibrated to the correct variable. Your empirical case holds for fair-weather driving, but winter in a northern city is a genuinely different calculation.
