Every EV we cover
Winter range estimates, cabin-heating type, and cold-charging notes for the EVs most common in northern climates.
Tesla Model 3 Long Range
2021+ Long Range uses an octovalve heat-pump system; earlier units used resistive heat.
View modelTesla Model Y Long Range
Heat pump standard since 2021; earlier units used resistive heat.
View modelHyundai Ioniq 5
Heat pump is standard or optional depending on market and trim; confirm before buying.
View modelHyundai Ioniq 6
Heat pump availability varies by market/trim; confirm before buying.
View modelKia EV6
Heat pump availability varies by market/trim; confirm before buying.
View modelVW ID.4
Heat pump is optional or standard depending on market/model year; many US units use resistive heat.
View modelFord Mustang Mach-E
Heat pump added on later model years (2024+ on some trims); earlier units use resistive heat.
View modelChevrolet Bolt EV (2027)
The relaunched 2027 Bolt adds a heat pump as standard — a first for the nameplate. The original 2017–2023 Bolt EV/EUV had resistive-only heat; that generation is discontinued and the EUV crossover variant was dropped in the relaunch.
View modelNissan Leaf (2026)
The redesigned 2026 Leaf fixes the old model's biggest cold-weather weakness with a liquid-cooled pack, but the heat pump is trim-gated: standard on SV+ and Platinum+, not on the longest-range S+ trim (the 303 mi this page uses), which keeps resistive cabin heat.
View modelFord F-150 Lightning
No heat pump on most trims; resistive cabin heat.
View modelRivian R1T / R1S
Resistive heat standard; heat pump introduced on some later builds/configurations.
View modelBMW i4 eDrive40
Heat pump standard.
View modelPolestar 2
The single-motor, non-heat-pump base trim that used to sell in North America is discontinued as of MY2025 — the current NA lineup is dual-motor Long Range only. Confirm heat pump inclusion on the specific build; Polestar has historically bundled it with the Plus pack rather than making it universal.
View modelAudi Q4 e-tron
Heat pump optional or standard depending on market; verify before buying.
View modelVolvo XC40 / EX40 Recharge
Heat pump standard on most builds.
View modelTesla Model S / Model X
Heat pump standard on current production.
View modelChevrolet Equinox EV
Heat pump standard across the lineup.
View modelHonda Prologue
Heat pump standard; built on GM's Ultium platform (Blazer EV's Honda-badged sibling).
View modelChevrolet Blazer EV
Heat pump standard across the lineup.
View modelCadillac Lyriq
Heat pump standard across the lineup.
View modelChevrolet Silverado EV
Heat pump standard.
View modelKia EV9
Heat pump is standard only on the top three trims; base and mid trims use resistive heat — confirm the specific trim.
View modelToyota bZ
Heat pump now standard as of the 2026 redesign — a major fix over the original bZ4X, which lacked one.
View modelNissan Ariya
Heat pump standard on most trims — a notable upgrade over the Leaf's older resistive-heat trims.
View modelLucid Air
Heat pump standard.
View modelGMC Hummer EV (SUV/Pickup)
Heat pump standard.
View modelCadillac Optiq
Heat pump standard.
View modelSubaru Solterra
Heat pump standard as of the 2026 redesign; standard dual-motor AWD across the entire lineup.
View modelVolkswagen ID.Buzz
Heat pump standard.
View modelVolvo EX30
Heat pump standard.
