    How does heat work in EVs?

    In ICE cars it’s waste heat generated by the engine, carried via antifreeze to the heater core, which air then passes through. Basically, a radiator.

    Where does the waste heat come from? Or is it resistive or a heat pump or something?

      Yes.

      Heat pump is more efficient, but resistive works fine.

      And seat heaters and heated steering wheel are super efficient to keep you warm.

        Very true. I used to think seat warmers and heated steering wheels were like…obscene-tier creature comforts.

        Nah. They’re damn near necessities once you have it.
