What's your MPG?

I would bet money there is a problem with the cold start circuit. It would be easy to verify - by pulling the spark plugs after running in cold weather. Blackened, sooty appearance indicates an over rich condition - likely caused by the cold start mixture staying on.

Subaru - 34. Taco - 19 if I roll stop signs and time lights. Many super efficient cars would disappear in the pot holes here.
My Chevy 2019 Equinox gets an average of 30 MPG.

My model 3 requires ball park $7 of electricity at off peak rates to cover ball park 250 miles. This means Financially it is getting the the equivalent of 150 miles to the gallon at current CA gas prices.
Offsetting this is the fact that the car payment is ball park $200 more a month because the car cost roughly $15000 more than a comparable gasoline powered sedan. In the long run, electric cars requires next to no routine maintenance, and its power train have service life 2-3 times longer then power train based on reciprocating engines. So if one drives about 1500 miles a month, then one saves about as much on maintenance and depreciation of the car each month as the extra monthly car payment.

Chevy 3/4T truck 10 MPG average, 7 MPG when towing the travel trailer.
