Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth::By installing a heat pump in his house in the hills of Oslo, Oyvind Solstad killed three birds with one stone, improving his comfort, finances and climate footprint.

If you are in a traffic jam, you lose range because of the heating. For gas cars, that doesn't matter at all.

A 1kw heater (less, given they're all heat pumps these days) isn't doing squat to the range compared to an 80kw motor.

A gas car has to idle its engine to get heat. It's burning fuel constantly.. that's why you frequently see broken down gas cars in heavy traffic.

1l/h as I noted further down. Still less range lost relative to the maximal range than in an EV.

Do you have a 100l tank?
Because my ev uses about 1% an hour for heating.

The whole discussion started for winter conditions. You can find the numbers in the other comment thread.
