On modern EVs, the hit to efficiency in cold weather is nowhere near as bad as the media make out.
On our Leaf we've only noticed an 8% decrease in efficiency in the freezing weather in comparison to the warmer weather a few months back (4.1mi/kWh vs 3.8mi/kWh). And that's without pre-heating the car on grid power on most days.
If they're able to pre-heat the buses while still on charge, I'd imagine the hit to efficiency wouldn't be too different.
