How does one do that in a single day with a pure E-car?
We do that routinely now.

Porsche is planning a network of charging stations and along with, I believe BMW and Mercedes, for more universal EV plug-ins. They also plan on having a free app that will automatically take your to the nearest charging station. The app is designed to also accept payment via different currencies. This is for Europe and I'm sure they plan on doing that for North America too.

I'm sure they'll run. Electric motors don't have coolant and oil that needs to warm up.
BUT, they certainly will have a much reduced range because of the cold battery's reduced capacity. Then there's the extra draw for heater, defroster, heated seats, and higher demand for lighting systems that have to be used for more hours without daylight.
Higher temperatures will also reduce the capacity of batteries and there will also be a higher demand on power to run AC systems,
