An EV that loses 40% range at -10°C isn't just inconvenient — it's a fundamental market limitation in cold-weather regions. The core problem: resistive heating is efficient at generating heat but draws directly from the main battery. Heat pumps, by moving heat rather than generating it, achieve 2-3x better efficiency in mild cold. But below -25°C, heat pumps lose effectiveness and resistive backup kicks in anyway. The BMW iX, Tesla Model Y (2022+), and Hyundai Ioniq 6 take different engineering approaches — here's what makes the difference between 15% and 40% winter range loss.
