Just scrolled through this thread quickly and I think everything has been answered, but I'll add my two cents from EV ownership.
My 2013 LEAF has a heat pump (yippee) and I would say it is completely worthless in this situation. We have been down in the single digits and my normal 50+ range around town was down to about 24 yesterday with 80% charge. The heat pump helps in the middle range, around 40-60, but does not help down this low.
Don't forget that Li-ION is also less effective in cold. Even if I cut the heat off and survive on heated seats (my son is really going to miss the rear heated), it is still loses a lot of range this cold.
