In the example of the guy you replied to it does actually help with range, but only in winter. The 2020 Ioniq can use the heat of the battery to help the heat pump heat the interior of the car, significantly reducing the range drop you experience during winter.
Kool, that’s what I figured. Does not really directly affect range but helps with battery longevity when fast charging.

Correct. Not in a way that changes anybody’s plans. Absolutely not to the degree that the popular narrative in the media implies.
Tldr; we spend less money. Road trips that once cost 60-80$ in fuel cost 5$.
Like any tool a human isn’t born with you learn to scale your trips and plans and routines to work in synergy with the tech…
…just like we did when carriages started becoming ‘horseless’
