We have an electric car, a BMW i3 it works well gives no bother, plugs in at home and gives a summer range of 140miles and a winter range of c.100 miles. Quite external temperature dependent.
All the services use the battery and reduce the range according to how much power they draw. We have not found them to make much difference apart from the air con maybe 5% reduction.
As regarding heating, it has nice heated seats to keep you snug.
As regards the long term hydrogen is the cleanest fuel into a fuel cell. Toyota make one that you can buy today, but finding a filling station is trickier!
A car is a tool, you buy the one that fits the work required of it.
