Electric cars with a heat pump (2026)
A heat pump heats an EV's cabin using a fraction of the energy of a resistive heater, and in freezing weather that difference shows up directly in range — independent tests regularly find 10–20% better winter range versus the same car without one. On some models it's standard, on others a paid option, and a surprising number of EVs still don't offer one at all. These are the models on sale with a heat pump available.

How this list is built
A model is listed when its current reference variant is available with a heat pump. Range figures are PlugSphere mixed-conditions estimates; expect winter motorway range below these numbers even with a heat pump. Data last checked 17 July 2026. *Range figures are PlugSphere estimates of real-world driving under mixed conditions.
Electric cars with a heat pump — common questions
Answers computed from this ranking's live data.
Which electric cars have a heat pump?
30 model lines on sale offer a heat pump — the table above ranks them by estimated range, led by the Mercedes-Benz EQS (720 km). On some models it is standard, on others a paid option.
Do I need a heat pump in an electric car?
If you drive in cold winters, it is one of the most valuable options: a heat pump heats the cabin using a fraction of the energy of a resistive heater. In mild climates the benefit is small.
How much winter range does a heat pump save?
Independent winter tests typically find 10–20% better range with a heat pump versus the same car without one, with the biggest gains in stop-start city driving around freezing temperatures.
