Hello, All.
I was bored today so I thought I'd try and quantify how much energy the AC and heat seat use. According to my unscientific calculations*, the seat heat (on high drivers side only) and the AC set to 73 degrees (55 ambient temp) increase wh/mi by 23%. That sure seems like a lot of energy. Has anyone else done similar calculations?
*Test was 3 miles each way over the same stretch of road on the interstate at 60mph with the autopilot on. The start and stop points were fixed signs.
