A/C isn’t as bad of a drain as the heater. Weather is a factor also. If it rains or snows, there is more tire resistance. Speed is also a factor. Here is a link to what speed does to the range.

Winter time is the worst. Losses of 50% range is possible when it is sub zero F. If you leave it plugged in while not driving, the losses aren’t so bad. Also the battery won’t charge until it is warm enough to accept a charge. That also applies to brake regeneration
