I think most fears about EVs are about the reduced range in winter, especially when combined with fast travel:

What if I need to drive 800 kilometers over the winter holidays, with subzero temperatures, highway speeds, and a car packed to the brim - all of which severely reduce range?

And sure, this is probably the toughest scenario for EV range calculations.
