I wanted to test out different climate control settings to see how much of a variance the heated seat and heater use. My results are posted below. 

Note: Estimate EV Range remaining is based on previous driving patterns, and not always accurate. 

I am going to add in my own estimate range based on the Energy used, EV KM driven, and knowing the EV battery is 5.5 kW (Thanks Murphy). 

 

1)

Go Times to 22 degrees. 
No heated seat and No Heat used
Temperature outside around -1 celcius 
Energy 2.8 kWh
EV km 20.3 km
Fuel Economy 999.9 MPG
Brake Score 97% 5.0 km from Regen!
Driving Score 90
Estimated EV Range remaining - 14 KM (The range started at 24km, I drove 20.3 and it ended with 14 remaining)
My Estimate Range - 5.5/2.8 = 1.96 | 1.96*20.3 = 39.79 KMs
 
2)
Go Times to 22 degrees. 
Heated seat set to level 1
Temperature outside around -1 celcius 
Energy 3.2 kWh
EV km 20.3 km
Fuel Economy 999.9 MPG
Brake Score 96% 4.9 km from Regen!
Driving Score 88
Estimated EV Range remaining - 12 KM
My Estimate Range - 5.5/3.2 = 1.72 | 1.72*20.3 = 34.92 KMs
 
3)
Go Times to 22 degrees. 
Heat set to 22 degrees 
Temperature outside around 1 celcius 
Energy 4.7 kWh 
EV km 20.3 km
Fuel Economy 999.9 MPG
Brake Score 96% 3.9 km from Regen!
Driving Score 87
Estimated EV Range remaining - 2 KM
My Estimate Range - 5.5/4.7 = 1.17 | 1.17*20.3 = 23.75 KMs
 
4)
Go Times to 22 degrees. 
Heat set to 22 degrees & Heated seat set to level 3
Temperature outside around 0 celcius 
Energy 4.7 kWh
EV km 20.3 km
Fuel Economy 999.9 MPG
Brake Score 96% 3.6 km from Regen!
Driving Score 85
Estimated EV Range remaining - 3 KM

My Estimate Range - 5.5/4.7 = 1.17 | 1.17*20.3 = 23.75 KMs
