I'd imagine a EV minivan would use a heat pump instead of a resistive heater. That'd have a much smaller toll on the winter range.

- JshWright 3y agoYeah, if it was a pure EV I suspect that's the route they would have gone. As a plug-in hybrid, it matters a lot less (since you only have ~30 miles of battery range anyway).

- droopyEyelids 3y agoGenerally plug-in hybrids run off the battery, like an electric car, until they discharge it and need the engine.
