The word abysmal comes to mind.What's the efficiency hit with the R1 platform when using the current method of heating?
The difference likely won't be as big as people want to see. My MINI Cooper SE had a heat pump and below probably 32F I'd notice a pretty big hit to efficiency. That said, that vehicle didn't have a battery warmer so some of its cold weather inefficiency was likely due to that issue. In warm weather I'd see around 4-4.2 mi/kWh, but below 32F it dropped to more like 3.5 mi/kWh and closer to 10F it was more like 3 mi/kWh. Can't say all of that is due to heating the cabin, but I saw a 25-30% impact from temperature alone with no change in driving style/location.What's the efficiency hit with the R1 platform when using the current method of heating?
I'll only be that excited if the heat-pump is swedish made.I hope all you granola eaters enjoy your heat pump hard-on you are sporting now.
