It was 13 degrees here last night. How long would a partial charge last in this weather?

Why do you need a car?
Bicycles don’t need a charge.
You can only get your car recharged if you live in Florida or California during winter.
It depends on several factors. Once it gets that cold, you might be looking at at 25% to 50% range loss unless the car is plugged in and preconditioned. Lets say you have an EV with an ideal range of 300 miles and leave the car out overnight with half a charge. That leaves 150 miles of ideal range left. You aren't going to let the battery get much below 20% battery charge remaining, so you would have about 90 miles of ideal range left to work with. So at best with a 25% loss of range you would be looking at a range of 65 miles and likely less.
