I guess my point is that the battery can absorb less heat than a single motor can produce, so adding the heat of a second motor would just be wasted. You could dump the extra heat into the radiator, but that wouldn’t help accomplish the goal of heating the battery pack up more quickly.
Ah!
Yah. If one motor can produce as much heat as the pack can absorb, there is no advantage to also generating heat from the second unit. Some system level reasons exist to share the heat load between the two 50-50.
If one motor doesn't max out the pack heating, then two motor heaters can increase pack warm up rate.
6kW heat would normally correspond to 60-120kW motor input power (90-95% efficency). That's 80.5 to 161 HP. If the motor is not rated for continuous output at those powers, it likely can't handle the heat production. From EPA docs, the RWD motor is listed as 192 kW (guessing that is peak)
