Here's a study about battery health. Bottom line is, charging from 0% to 100% gives you 500 life cycles until it's at 70% health. Charging from 20% to 70% gives you 6.000 life cycles. That's is a huge difference and you should keep that in mind.
I don't know how low temperatures affect battery health. But ask around, aren't EVs super popular in Finland?
at least cold weather drains battery, not sure how it affects the health in general but i dont think it does it any good. The people who have ev are most likely those who can also afford heated and closed space for their car. At least i have seen many teslas all around so it would make sense if there are even more evs because tesla is only car i can definitely tell is ev.
I wish evs had somekind of "emergency" battery that would charge the main battery if it gets too low so it would protect it from getting too empty.
