Heat pump status: YES
A heat pump cuts winter range loss roughly in half vs resistive cabin heating. This trim retains the most warmth-energy of any EV you can buy.

How we estimate
Linear model calibrated to Recurrent's 2025-26 winter study (30,000+ US vehicles): heat-pump trims retain ~83% of range in freezing weather vs ~75% for resistive heating, with the fleet averaging ~70% at 20°F. Real-world loss varies with cabin-heat usage, highway vs city mix, and battery preconditioning — your number could swing ±5%.
