Based on our testing and extensive experience with electric vehicles, we can definitively say you don't need to worry, just prepare.
Recent extreme winter weather in much of the western U.S.—not to mention a brutal snowstorm in Buffalo, New York, that, some of whom were in their cars—has sparked fresh concerns about what happens to electric vehicle drivers who get stranded in snowstorms.
As always, if you live in snowy regions or are traveling to where epic snowfalls occur it's wise to occur take precautions: bring winter clothes, snacks, water, a shovel for digging a snow cave—no matter what kind of vehicle you're driving. Of course, few of us will probably be that conscientious. Not to worry.Let's say you're in an EV and you get stranded out on the interstate in blizzard conditions when traffic grinds to a halt.
It's worth noting the EV in question did not even have a heat pump heating system; if it had it would have lasted far longer due to its greater efficiency versus the resistive heating system it was equipped with. Both the gas and electric test cars would also likely have lasted longer if they'd had one or more person inside of them for the duration of the test, since we humans emit heat as well.
Heat pumps, which are also used in homes, are considerably more efficient than the resistive heating that's standard in some EVs. Resistive systems heat up wires—like some electric baseboard heaters—to emit heat.
