What happens when air conditioning sucks five horsepower's worth of battery? The energy to spin a condenser cooling fan will not come from magic?
Hey Mex. How’s it going. I may not be understanding your question but are you asking what happens when the heat pump is in AC mode. Well, nothing happens from the point of view of the driver. The car still has the same amount of power etc. The car displays what amount of power is being used for the HVAC system and gives you a recalculated max range based on you recent driving etc. Our car shows anywhere from 300 to 1500 Watts used by the Heat pump depending on what the temp differential is etc. Let’s say a 10 to 15 percent reduction in range. Is that what you are asking?
