Any battery gets worse in the cold. I have experience making batteries but haven't kept up w/ what the different manufacturers are using these days as tweaks of the same basic concept. Every EV will be worse in the cold, but - maybe the KIA is even worse than the rest.
I get the feeling that what you're looking for doesn't exist yet. It's not impossible, just doesn't exist yet.

Yeah I expect worse in the cold and wet, gasoline cars lose range too. But I've found a review online and another on YouTube back in Jan and they couldn't even get 200 miles out of it at 75mph.
