Question

I’m curious, is the heating in a electric car instantly warm? Seeing as there’s no waiting for the engine to heat up.

Answer 1

Gas cars use waste heat from the cooling system to heat the car with no wasted energy. Electric cars don’t have a hot engine so they have a ln electric heater that heats almost immediately. This can be a huge draw on the battery and greatly reduces the range when used.
