In extreme cold, when plugged in does Mach-E warm the battery occasionally?

It will try, but won’t do very well especially if it’s significantly below freezing.

In extreme cold, 120V may not get the battery warm enough to even be able to charge so you can have it plugged in all day and night and gain 0%.
No.
I L1 charge all the time at work, and I get a charge over the 10-15hrs I'm there everyday, +38C to -48C are the extremes I've seen over the last five years
Both my MachE and Lightning charge just fine on 120V at any temperature

I cannot believe that the Ford Mobile Charger functions at -48C.... That is -54F. People have reported issues at -20F...

As to actua.ly charging the battery, I would love to see the percentage you gain during that day.

I've used my Ford Mobile charger almost daily since I got the car in Oct '21.
Hasn't failed me yet.
Coldest day in January so far where I am that I have data for was Jan 24 where the low was -32.6°C and the high was -23.3°C. I was plugged into a 120V outlet at work. Picture below.
