Just as a point of contention. Its hard to find an EV that is only gonna pull 1000w using the heater.

My EV doesn't have a heatpump and the resistive heating pulls up to 8KW warming up the cabin on a cold day.

I keep a 12v heated blanket around to save power. (no heated seats/steering wheel)

Heated seats are where the real power savings come in.
