I have just had my Leaf a couple of weeks.
I'm curious. I have a 2015 SV. I have read on other threads that the Heat Pump motor is variable speed. I assume it draws power from the main battery pack. Is it a DC motor?? Where is its power routed through and how is it controlled? I wouldn't think that it would be powered by the main inverter.
Also, is there a heating element used somewhere in the system? It would seem as though there would have to be a heating element for really cold weather or defrosting/defogging.
