They don't have open loop like a gas engine.
Expect the intake heater to stay on a lot more which can eat up alternator and battery life.
Its basic thermo too, heat does the work, while trying to flow from hot to cold, if your block and cylinder head is cold energy that could have been used to push the piston down trying to reach a colder state is instead being absorbed by cold metal parts.
Cold starting them is not doing them any favors.
