EVs feature sophisticated battery-monitoring technology that is calibrated to outside temperature, which allows the driver to track and respond to battery life in real time. The heavy batteries also help with traction on icy roads. Others might have insulated/heated batteries that can help with charging times.

The Energy Commission also approved almost $16 million in research grants to help develop the next generation of energy efficient technologies for commercial and residential buildings; $11 million for projects to convert feedstock and waste into biofuels; and about $900,000 for natural gas innovations. Plug-in electric vehicles.
Charged EVs
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021
In an EV, while using the HVAC won’t detract from the maximum output of the traction motor, it does still demand energy from the battery, so there will be a hit to range. Given a traction battery capacity of 24 kWh, and a power demand of 15.5 kW to travel at 60 mph (100 kph), the max range will be 93 miles (150 km).
