Now we carry on with more tips during the coldest time of year. In this episode, our experts discuss the best way to heat up your EV during the Winter season.
We already know that extremely cold environments can have a significant impact on the range of your car. In some older models, you can lose as much as 50%!

- How heat pumps and other heating systems typically work in electric cars
- What to look for when buying your next EV if you live in colder climates
- How Tesla heat pumps and BMW resistive heating hold up in the snow
