How would you heat an EV during the winter
Wouldn't turning on your hester use a lot of electricity.

You won't be interested in driving my Citroen DS then?

And I suggest you update your preference list. In fact you'd better stop driving at all in case you touch a French made component in an otherwise Japanese or Korean model.

Heat pumps are sometimes an (expensive) optional extra on some EVs to save on battery charge and range.

They're standard on most ones now. The Tesla model 3 and Y, the Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, e208, Mini electric etc. all have them.

The id3 does have it as an optional extra, which is disappointing and a bit surprising. That's the sort of thing that should require significant work to make 'optional'.

 

[motorbiking]

On the Tesla model Y they also extract heat using a heat pump.

Yes.

Didn't Top Gear (when it was good) work out by how much fuel consumption would increase if you had a moustache?
