I wouldn't think that Nissan would design a car that would kill itself as soon as winter came along. But, I do know that the cold IS affecting battery performance. I usually don't have all the regen and acceleration circles on the dash, which means they are limited. Many times I only have one regen circle even with a halfway or more depleted battery. So I can't regen or accelerate like I did when it was warmer. In fact the amount of regen and acceleration seems directly related to the battery temp gauge. 2 or 3 bars of battery temp only give me one regen circle. For temp bars gives me two or three circles. It has to have five or more battery temp bars to get all the regen circles.
