My diesel van struggles to start when temperatures get around freezing. That's just a thing that happens to all vehicles. -23C (-10F) is pretty cold

Diesel will gel but my gas cars haven't really had problems down into -30s.

Also the battery that turns the starter motor gets drained. But I take your point, diesel is more susceptible than petrol / gas.
