Probably you all know this but I noticed that using the heating set to 22 deg uses 10A from the battery, on a cold day (6 deg).
That equates to 4kW of power being drawn from the battery, which totally accounts for my consumption in winter dropping to 3miles/kWh from 4miles/kWh.
In summer, at 60mph the energy load is approx 15kW, whereas in winter this ups to 19kW with the heating on! Ouch.
By the way, the heated seats uses a lot less power maybe 1A (400W) per seat. Set the heating to 17 degrees and use the heated seat gives a lot more range!
