Essentially, I get about 450-500 highway kilometers in the summer, and about 325-375 in the winter (we give around zero most of the winter with 1-3 weeks of -15 or so). Adding 35-40km doesn't really make a big difference unless you're a) traveling a lot, or b) didn't have home charging.
If it's free, sure I'll take it. If it's a $5k option? Nope

Ok, maybe not all of Canada, you have pretty mild winters. But when it hits -20 and you have to go to Edmonton or the mountains, and it goes from not needing to stop to requiring one, maybe two, I'd suspect those types of things would suck more than necessary.
But even if you just city drive, but don't have a home charger, you are going to spend a lot on charging to make up for poor battery warming and more time doing it.
As with most things EV, usage case is important.
