Night driving. Even though they are LEDs they still use up quite a bit of electrical at night.
Ahh I see where your coming from. We don't find other systems use as much as people think. Here is a screenshot or our first generation leaf. It should give you an idea of what the various systems use. Lights are on and steering wheel heater on. You can see the climate control drawing considerably more power than the other systems. Keep in mind that the car is warm at this point. EV's heat up like right now. Within 5 minutes the current draw drops back to something like you see here although the first 5 minutes its usually north of 3 KW just for the HVAC. I don't think the heated seats were on for this as I usually don't have then selected on pre-warm. Temperature is as per the other pic. Minus eleven I think. Hope this gives some insight into real world numbers.
