Also, the fucking news for the last few years? There are EVs out there without enough cold protection for their batteries. Which is why, if you can drag your ego back up the thread, you'll see that my original post said I would be more concerned with making sure my battery had those protections than a heat pump because the affect on range is much more drastic.
You know, as the article in the post points out. EVs are not all the same.
I’ve had EVs for 10 years and have never seen nor heard of any problems with cold other than decreased range (which is true of ICE as well). Again, you could learn from the Scandinavian countries, which greatly prefer EVs.
