I'm fairly sure that 5kw has been seen, with 6kw claimed once or twice, presumably because the heat pump was running as well.

goldbrick said:I think the heater's max power draw also depends on whether or not the car is in 'eco' mode but I don't know the details.

Is there not two of them? so theoretically 6 KW? I have seen as much as 4.5 KW SEVERAL times.

A 2014 SV or SL will have a both a heat pump and a PTC (resistance) heater - one of each.
Heat pump system? Which car version?DaveinOlyWA said:Tried it yesterday morning, I was able to hit 5.25 KW for about a minute. It would appear I could only do that on max fan speed. At fan level 3, the highest I could go was 3.75 KW

You really don't want to even look at the GOM. In my 2013, when it said 20 miles on the GOM I really had no more than 12 miles according to LeafSpyPro. That is a huge difference.sendler2112 said:26 miles remaining on the guessometer.

sendler2112 said:It was top balanced to 13mv. That is SOC 7%.
sendler2112 said:Original battery. 5.5 years old and 62,000 miles. Still giving me 55-60 real world highway miles in 15F weather. Might go downhill fast though with me having to push it from 100% to 20% twice a day. It has about the equivalent of 800 full cycles on it now. If another 800 full cycle equivalent takes it to 70% SOH I will no longer make my range and be forced to sell it or replace the battery. 400 more work day trips?

The steering wheel heater is very hot. It's surprising how warm this can keep your whole upper body gaining heat through your hands. ACC set to 68 and fan speed 1 keeps the glass clear while using less than 1 kW. My knees feel the radiant cold through the glass. A small 12v electric blanket is my next purchase.

Why does LeafSpy show SOC 19% when the car showed 7%. 3.56V is obviously just about done with one cell at 3.50.
