That's my big fear of owning an EV in a place like New England. Yesterday, it was 98 degrees and kids were being sent home early from school due to the heat. In February, on some days you nose hairs freeze as soon as you step outside.
That would sap range in an EV pretty quick.

Heating is more problem than AC.
AC just needs to drop temperature by 30~40 F. (100~110F ambient)
Heater needs to compensate up to 90 F (if ambient is -20F)
Also, AC is way more efficient then electric heater or heat pump.
