Not true in most EVs regarding 'only the motors'. The AC/heat pump compressor is run off the HVDC, typically. Since it runs for long periods of time and consumes kilowatts, you want to run it straight off the main HV battery. Also, any vehicle that still uses resistive heating (older EVs tended to do this, Tesla included) use the HVDC for that.
