when i put heater on my predicted range drops by 40/ 50 miles instantly, but goes back up when you switch it off again, so i dont think using it is particularly as wasteful as with ice vehicles. electric seat and steering wheel dont affect range at all oddly.
It’s the way the Kona and most other EV’s work, most of the electrical systems like radio, lights, heated seat run off the 12V battery, only the A/C runs off the main traction battery.
I’ve ordered a kona premium but I was wondering how long you’ve had yours and what your thoughts are about it?
only had it a month, but am already very impressed overall. nice car to drive, especially as i dont do big miles, so it just potters about and you never have to visit a petrol pump. smooth and quiet, and as has been said, the remote warming up etc is a delight.
