Most of my winter driving is around 30-45F. I don't usually go on road trips in the true ice and snow below freezing days. That's exactly why I wish I had the heat pump.So really I talked to a few more people this morning. The cost is around 800 to 1,500 for this in the model y.
If your someone that lives in sunny Cali or the lower states that never really see below 45 degrees. Then it is not needed.
If your someone that lives with extreme winters where it is 20 degrees and below. It's not going to make much of a difference.
But the people who are in the middle of this could save about 8 miles of range per 100 miles. so just say 25 miles of range on a 300-mile battery.
The better option would be to sell it as an add-on.
The real truth about EV cars is in extremely cold conditions your range can be cut almost in half.
Now the mache suppose to have a better design for cold weather. We are all waiting to find out what percentage more that is.
No system is perfect, of course.
I just wish the Mach-E had an add-on heat pump optional from the beginning.
