    I have been saying for years that it objectively insane that any manufacturer is selling any EV or even a PHEV that doesn't use a heat pump for climate control. The difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump is a $5 reversing valve. It is inexcusable that any EV is still using resistive heat.

    Sure, maybe if you're driving in Texas in the winter. But then take the car into Canada when its -40F and see how well your heat pump is performing.
