Personally think the added door handle is goofy, still when it was first mentioned the mach-e was getting e-latches I had visions of the ones on the lincoln continental those look truly awful to me so it could have been a lot worse.
While thankfully it has been a number of years since I have had to worry about ice of a car the doors should have no problem opening as ford will have tested it with a thick layer of ice on top also looking at the size of the actuator that comes out to push the door open it should have no problem cracking a layer of ice.
The doors design is also not frameless which can also cause problems in the cold weather if not done properlly (looking at you tesla), so overall I doubt there will be any issues getting into the car if left out in the harshest of winters. The only thing I really wish ford USA would add to the cars over here is the heated front windscreen that has been on euro fords for over 30 years as not having them over here is really irritating.
