Do electric cars have heaters?

It can get icy where I live, and I'm unsure if EVs are up for the task. Do electric cars have heaters?

Electric cars do have heaters and may be just what you need to handle that cold climate.
Extreme temperatures are one of the biggest threats to range in an
electric car
. You should expect to lose more range on a cold day than on a warm day, but it’s not enough for concern.
Most electric vehicles use resistance heating which generates heat almost instantly. You’ll even have the option to preheat your EV before entry, ensuring a comfortable temperature before entering your vehicle. So when it comes to heating, your electric car has you covered.
Whether or not you’re ready to trust an electric car with your heating needs, you can undoubtedly trust
