I wonder how much range would get cut with running the AC or heat.

In our 2015 Leaf, turning on the AC or heat reduces the range by about 5%. But we use the heat pretty judiciously. With heated car seats and steering wheel a cabin temp in the high 50s is comfortable.

Another thing we like about our electric car - we experience power outages pretty regularly, maybe 3-4 times a year, and usually one of those lasts 12+ hours. We can use our car to power internet, lights, refrigerator, and run the fan on our gas fireplace. Can't power the AC, though. We charge the car to 100% before storms, which can power our house for a few days.
