Hello everyone. I’m the owner of an 2014 Leaf SV. I have a 240v 30 amps capacity charging station at home.
The question is: why do the cabin preheating is reducing the % of charge of the battery pack when the car is full and still pluged in?
It is not supposed to draw the electricity from the charger/charging station?
It is because the heating system use primarly the energy in the pack and the charger kick in when the battery pack pass a % threshold?
This morning the car was plugged in and already full way before the cabin heating program kick in. When I came to drive the car, the % had dropped to 97%. Since my charger capacity into the car is 6.6kW the charging station up to 7.2 kW and energy consumption from the heater never goes over 5 kW.... I dont understand the drain.
Thanks for the explanation.
