All the electronics are on the 12v system.
Only the motor (via the inverter), the heater, and the DC-to-DC converter are on the HV battery.
(I think.)
Hi Gary,
I was just wondering if anyone had access to or seen some type of a listing of the electrical users on the vehicle. I guess the list that I am thinking about would actually have 3 different columns. Those items that run only on the HV battery, only those items run from the LV battery and those items that use both.
My desire as an operator of the vehicle is to understand what I can control in the vehicle to extend range. I know that some of the more important things are speed, route (up/down hills), rate of acceleration and use of regen during braking. But beyond these if we look into the cabin for help in range extension I know that heating and A/C are big electric users but beyond these two I would like to know what else I can control to extend range. My curiosity stems in part from our low rankings in CarWings in this category. I can understand it when we are using the AC like we have this past week with 100+ degree days but we were still ranked low when we were not using the AC.
Thanks,
Corey
