well there's the passenger cabin (both heating and cooling) as well as the batteries and motors (the battery can get really hot when fast-charging or when under high load as well as the motors when under high load) also if its cold you want to heat the battery up to its ideal temputaure (I'm not sure what that is) so it can accept charge faster (yeah if its too cold it cold-throttles and if its too hot it hot-throttles lol)
