Also worst of both. Don't forget that part. It makes a lot of sense for trucks, but EVs for commuter cars is really the perfect application.

you dont get stuck waiting for days for it to charge when a deep freeze happens.

Define "deep freeze." There is literally no weather you're getting in Tuscaloosa that presents any issues.

There were reports of people in Chicago having the car running while charging and it the charger was only able to keep battery at current level (due to heater).

Because those idiots chose EVs without having chargers installed at home. If you aren't getting your own charger, don't buy an EV. Not smart to rely on other people's shite to ensure the operability of such a critical piece of equipment. There seems to be a dumb trend among EV drivers to "milk" their batteries as low as they can before charging (which is counterproductive). I have no doubt a bunch of these people waited around for days expecting to just drive up to a supercharger and top off, not understanding the demand that was about hit.
