Heat Pump vs Resistive Heater

[metroshot]

Desert Southwestern US - we need cooling seats and strong A/C for 11 months out of the year!.

Heater is rarely used.

Wonder if the target 150 mile range included summer and winter. A seasonal average and not just best case.

EPA EV range testing includes testing in 95*F and 20*F.

I'd rather have cooling seats living in hot desert Southwest.

Maybe it will have a Janitrol heater.

I read somewhere that a heat pump had been confirmed. It seems like it would be a crucial part of an already small battery short range vehicle not losing too much range in adverse weather.

Agreed. This will be a huge consideration.
