Yup. Car and Driver Debunks Cold Weather EV Myts at most you get a 20% decrease in the efficiency of your charge. And EVs are actually better at staying warm while idle/off.

20% is huge on cheaper (i.e not horribly expensive) EV 's when you’ll already be on the edge of your range for daily use. Luckily though, most people don’t live in northern latitudes.

It depends on a number of factors: outdoor temperature, the model of car, whether climate control is used. At temperatures of an average January daytime high where I live, using climate control, range can decrease by 40% and anecdotally my model is even higher.
