I've been trying to figure out the "exact" energy usage of the various HVAC etc functions, discovered a couple of anomalies.
This was all done today at -2c with the car in Ready and nothing else on, journey & accumulated trips reset, voltage was reading 413v. I just thought, I'm pretty sure the mode was in E still (I really should've made certain).
Rear heated window - uses 1Amp
Heated seats (1or2) - uses 0Amps
Air re-circulate on/off - no difference
Max heat temperature & Fan on 6of6 - uses 1-6Amps(constantly flickers between)
Max heat temperature & Fan on 6of6 & Air Con on - uses 1-6Amps(constantly flickers between)
Now here's the anomaly:
Pressing the Front window demist button - This switches Air Con ON / Directs air to window only / Sets Fan to 5of6 / Turns Rear window heater ON / Air-recirculate is Off.
If I MANUALLY set all of the above - it uses 1-6Amps
If I PRESS the Front window demist button - it uses an ADDITIONAL 10Amps - I cannot hear/identify any difference.
Also regarding the GOM with the above....
MANUALLY setting any of the HVAC/heated window&seats etc on, does not change the GOM.
PRESS the Front window demise button (with the exact same settings as done manually, reduces the GOM by about 10%.
(FYI: at 413Volts, 10Amps is 4.13kWh)
