That type of cold is destructive. Forget all the eco hype you have been told as they always leave out reality.

Life goes on at -35C. My Honda Ridgeline works just fine. This looks like a real battery issue for Toyota which they are choosing to ignore. They sell lots of cars into a market that regularly sees these conditions.
