It's all well and good that heating efficiency means more range, but it has to also actually put out more heat to appease her. I could deal without the extra heat and rely more on the heated seats and wheel and maybe a 65 degree cabin, but she won't. That's why I was saying it's two issues.
They both output plenty of heat, even in the coldest of climates.
Well the resistive heater isn't enough for her here lol. But she's a perpetually cold person.
As I said before, that's a PHEV. It's probably insufficient because the engine serves as a heater for those kinds of situations. I've driven an EV with a resistive heater (Bolt) in 14 degree weather and it was more than sufficient.
I appreciate it.
