Are they heated through the use of a block heater or is there some
other solution I'm not aware of?

Do you live in a climate where -28c temperatures are normal? My
Infiniti started perfectly the other day at such a temperature but the
continued exposure to the freezing temperatures caused the computer to
go nuts and essentially all of the lights within the dashboard lit up
and the system disabled everything from the power steering to the 4WD.
Once things warmed up a few days later, all of the lights as well as
the annoying check engine light turned off. To say the least, I
wouldn't trust an electric car in such temperatures.
