20%-36% is a huge range and optimistic on the low end it’s more like 30-35% in 15F -0F and that’s on crap side for most EVs. I accept it but not happy about it.I appreciate your perspective but it's impossible to gauge your actual consumption based on your post. I averaged 1.4-1.6 miles/kwh on a 700 mile road trip during Elliott with 0-10F ambient temps. I would probably get 2.0-2.2 mi/kWh on the same route in the summer.
This translates to a 20%-36% loss of range in incredibly cold weather and is in line with most other EVs, including the Mach-E. So I don't think it's fair to say that it's not a "practicable" EV.
I would suggest that you rely on the percentage and mi/kWh readout when gauging range on future road trips.
