Simply not true. An EV can just use the heat pump for HVAC while the gasser must idle to run heat and air. The EV uses about 10% of charge overnight keeping the vehicle at a nice toasty 75 deg., while watching Netflix or playing video games until the road clears. What magic do you use to run the A/C or heat without draining a power source?
