Default Outlander 2014 V6 and cold weather

If somebody have / had same problems let me know:

temperature ( C) t < - 10 Sometimes my climate control not starting right away when I'm pressing button, but starting 10-15 minutes latter
Today Temperature < -20 and My car started normal, but did not drives, 3 lights went on Engine, Skidding control off, skidding control off. Eventually I start driving, but my car not accelerated, RPM < 1500, and speed < 50 km/h.
I made to service center, and "The Mechanic" "found battery fault" due to "low driving distance". Car is less than year old, I'm driving 2 hours per day 1 morning and 1 evening, enough to charge battery I guess ( otherwise it it sound ridicules that you have to drive you car to keep charge on battery ),

So any advises to "The Mechanic"

hmmm, that isn't extreme cold...but cold enough it may be affecting the performance of your battery. a few weeks ago, it got down to -18c and the engine turned over slowly, but did start. Once started, it worked as normal.

your commute is more than enough to keep your battery charged.

The only thing I can think of is to have your battery tested. it is possible you have a low/dead cell.
Or you could have a failed alternator/voltage regulator and improperly charging your battery. I once had an alternator that worked as long as engine RPM was under 2500...above that, it didn't run correctly. Oddly enough, the tester at most parts stores here test at rpms that are comparably under 2500 engine rpms...so when I took it in for testing, it passed.
