What you are talking about could be very different from a standard setup which means typical things like Nest may not work. Could you post some pictures of the a/c units, thermostats, and wiring behind the thermostats?

I’m jealous for your chargers. It’s not like I drive more than a few hundred miles in any give direction. East or West from where I am is fine. North or South on the other hand. There are a few chargers, but I would be driving 30 minutes out of my way to get to them. It’s massively inconvenient.

Heatpumps below 45F start to steeply decline in efficiency. Trying to warm my car up on a 20F day (which is how I start most days 4 months out of the year) saves me, at most 1.5kw an hour with a heat pump. That’s 6 miles an hour if the rest of the M3 is running perfectly. During 3 hours of driving, I would gain about 18 miles. Although not insignificant, it’s not some holy grail to EV range and not enough to make a noticeable difference.

I just really wish our charging infrastructure was better in the US. Give it another 5 years and I think we’ll be just fine.

Day to day I have 0 range anxiety. When it is really hot or really cold, it starts creeping in. When it’s a particularly busy day and really cold, the anxiety is full force in my M3. I expect this to be resolved in the next gen not only for the better battery tech and efficiencies, but due to destination chargers popping up in more and more places.

I would have 0 anxiety, and just a minor annoyance, even on the coldest days, if I could just plug in at 240/30a at one of my destinations for an hour or two.
