Cold weather operations might differ. It's not uncommon to heat a fuel powered engine in the winter, whereas with battery it might be mandatory.
Also, cabin heat affect on range will need to be well understood and incorporated in performance and endurance charts for flight planning purposes.
For pressurized airplanes, the power cost of pressurizing and cooling. I'm not sure what that cost to endurance would be, but it would need to be accounted for.
