Not even close.
Not even if I spent the extra 5 grand for the extended life battery.
-40 is not kind to anything, let alone electric vehicles.

I’m not even talking about the life,  I’m talking about the miles per charge.  I have a great hybrid that I drive and get 55 MPG in the spring, summer and early fall.   BUT, I drive 70 miles a day on flat roads and mostly interstate.  In the winter p, which aren’t anywhere neat yours, I drop to 49 to 50.  When I drive they the mountains in Va/WV that drops to 43 in the winter.  

Driving a straight EV with what is available today, in those conditions, you would have to stop every 100 miles to charge up.
