Maintaining the temp inside the car is going to pull at most a couple kw. So 2 hours with the heat or AC on even in a very severe climate is going to consume <5kWh. Which translates to a loss of 15 miles in range.
If you got stuck overnight due to snow on a mountain pass maybe that would be an issue. But in that case you have the same issues with an ICE car and all the carbon monoxide that comes along with it. I’d rather be stuck in an EV where I can at least run the seat warmers and climate on a low setting.
