28m doesn't even register on the scale of elevation changes that are more typical in western states/provinces. I'd prefer no heater, but I understand how an hour or two in a -15C car might not be fun.
Just use what you have to, because it should be reflected in the km/kWh readout.
Thanks for accepting the challenge! Maybe you should print out the first post to log the data?
Hey Tony. Here are the results.
120V to 100% Charge at start: --:--
Assumed battery temperature at start: -13C (soaked for 4 hours)
Final Dash Km/kWh: 7.0
Km traveled total: 125.1
Km driven at Low Battery: 15.8 Km
How many fuel bars showing: 1
120V to 100% Charge: 21:00
Temp: -10 C
Km driven at Very Low Battery: 4.4 Km
How many fuel bars showing: 0
120V to 100% Charge: n/a (The "low level" warning covered the charge estimate, should've closed it...)
Temp: -10 C
Km driven at Turtle, if applicable: 50 meters, before pulling over my driveway.
Heater nominal power use:
- Climate control = 0.5 KW average (windshield only, minimal temp, minimal air flow)
- Other systems = 200 W (incl. heated seat, heated steering wheel)
