EV’s don’t have to idle like an ICE, so the only loads when you’re at a full stop are your air conditioner, radio, etc.
Granted, the air conditioner is still a load. But it’s not that much compared to actually powering the drivetrain. Stop and go traffic is probably where EV’s look the best vs. ICE’s because of the idle efficiency.

Radio on?
Windshield wipers?
Bluetooth?
Navigation?
Dashboard display?
All that PLUS A/C...
You'll have a line of fricking paperweights littering the highway.

So AC , and all other electronics will not draw the battery down?

They actually do. EV's have their own coolant systems that have to be powered as well. AC load varies considerably too, most of you have absolutely no concept of how much more powerful an average sedan's AC system compared to what's cooling your house and why it needs to be so. Someone claimed 2kW, that's laughably short of what it actually uses. Those thinking they can use an EV in the equivalent capacity to a solid residential standy by generator are laughably ignorant too.

Thanks...
AC was my primary concern - hence my choice of July lol.
The portability of gasoline - whether stuck in traffic or the boonies - is a plus to me
