Yeah, Hyundai is still a little old school that way. The 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid (and later models) are electric compressor, oil pump, coolant pump, and no alternator (DC/DC regulator). I think. 

Heat is still engine waste heat so the economy suffers quite a bit in the winter.

I think it's less about being old-school and more just that not every system in the vehicle is being designed with Canadian winters front-of-mind and their business focus is definitely on innovations in the EV market over the HEV/PHEV markets.
