I heard this yesterday.
The cold spell we had a week or two ago caused a real problem with electric vehicles.
The batteries don't work when they are cold! Some Tesla owners even complained that they couldn't even get in to their cars, because the locks are electric.
If you wanted a battery operated aircraft you would be limited to warmer weather, and would have to watch the temperature at altitude.
The IC engine wins again!
