    My new EV has 520km range, which is higher than my ICE car had, so i think that the whole ‘EV’s have lesser range’ is just innacurate now.

      Maybe in summer. Real-world EV range loss in winter typically ranges from 14% to 39% based on 2025 AMA tests.

        quite possibly,

        My EV came with a heatpump for heating and cooling, so i wonder how that will change things.

          Its better than those without one, but they still lose range in the cold as the heat pump also takes power. There’s an advantage if you preheat the battery while the EV is still plugged in.
