Nope, I'm not forgetting that, but it's still less efficient than using waste heat from a genset, plus heat pumps are expensive, and probably heavy. So you've got a choice between added weight of expensive heat pump which detracts from range, and the genset which lets you reduce weight & expense of batteries while giving unlimited range. To me, it seems the only argument in favor of the first option is that it lets you brag that you're an EV purist.
