The motors and battery can get warm as you drive. But you really have to push them hard. (Drive fast and regen hard.)I have always wondered if you are driving for a bit do the motors and batteries get warm? Can they provide engine heat?
And there is no engine to get heat from! Meaning you have to replace that with another form of heater. Either a resistance heater to stand in place of an engine or a heat pump to scavenge heat from the motors/battery.
Transport Evolved did a great video on how heating in electric cars is done.
