How should I assess a heat-pump option on a used EV?
An advertisement lists a heat pump. What should be verified before paying more or assigning an exact winter-range benefit to it?
EVVerity explains
The answer
Verify fitment and relevance
Confirm that the exact vehicle has the stated equipment and that it functions correctly. Assess evidence under conditions relevant to your journeys. Do not assign a universal percentage benefit or let the feature replace a battery and vehicle inspection; its practical value depends on the car and how it is used.
