Basically all of them but Nissan have active thermal management, and use liquid cooling as far as I know.

The problem with Nissan is that they don't even force air to manage temperatures. Heck, my Prius has a fan that blows cabin air over the batteries.

Are you really ok with having a 40 mile range in the winter? I'd certainly get on a forum and ask about window defrosting, for instance, before pulling the trigger on a low range EV. Heck, I've seen complaints that the 250 mile range Bolt can't defrost the windows on very cold days, and the range drops to 150.
