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

Mostly, yes. On a cold day, heating elements and ducting might need a few moments to warm up. But this happens far sooner than waiting for engine coolant to gather sufficient heat to feed your ventilation system’s heat exchanger.
