One of my big concerns about the ID.4 is the lack of a heat pump.
Will the ID.4 Resistive Heaterl keep us cool in the US summers?
It can get to 100F here, and always gets into the 90s each summer (Western Oregon).
Thanks.

Like what everyone said above about the technology!!! you dont need to worry you can have air con for the car.
What you really want to know is why is a heat pump an option!
If you live in sunny california and the temp is never below 0C (32F), then you dont need to worry.
If you live in a country where it gets cold, the heat pump is used for greater efficiency.
The energy required to generate 1 unit of heat using resistive heater is several times greater than using a heat pump... So to increase range from the battery when travelling in cold weather you can use a heat pump.
BUT because a heat pump is expensive and not required for everyone, they dont make it standard... you only need to chose it if you drive a lot in the cold, and need the longer range from the battery in the cold.
Ive got one driving in the south of UK, but I probably dont need it. If I lived in spain I wouldnt bother.
