Yep. Electric heat sucks wattage like nobody’s business. It’s just not practical in cold areas, compared to a combustion engine that produces heat *as waste* that can just be pumped into the cabin.

Electric cars also produce heat...although the heat is produced and rejected at the power plants that supply their energy (coal and gas, in particular).

That’s the problem they have.
