Only if it's not designed properly for cold weather use - like the 3 cheap car EV's on this site. (And the CitiCars too.)
I know of people who drive EV's year round in Ottawa and Montreal, with insulated (and optionally heated) battery boxes. An EV that's used as a commuter - ie daily - will retain heat from charging/discharging to keep the pack comfortably warm in properly designed boxes.
