I have a really hard time understanding the pushback to elctrification.
Very fewe people (like almost none) drive more than 300 miles in a day 8-/
Most people in the plains states where the resistance is highest, live in single family homes where they could easily charge overnight.
I know people that routinely travel in EVs between Mendocino county and San Diego county. Roughly the distance between NY and Georgia.
As far as the cold goes, somehow Norway is dealing with it, given they have the highest ratio of EVs of any country at this point. The battery tech is also catching up to this, and charge times in general, at least in China 8-/
I would assume they are forced to recharge multiple times over that distance, which might be fine - you'd have to refill with gas/petrol over that distance as well, but the difference between 10 minutes verses an hour or so unless I'm really missing both the range and time to recharge for EVs.
