    Is my heating power consumption correct?

    I asked AI, this is what it says for interest Summary (Typical Contribution Percentages) Cabin heating: ~40% Battery chemistry losses: ~25% Battery warming systems: ~15% Tyre rolling resistance: ~10% Aerodynamic drag increase: ~6% Ancillary loads: ~4% Reduced regen braking: ~3% These add up...

    Maybe, ~10% is a lot less than I expected but could be correct. My enegry consumption has increased from ~4mile/kWh to 3 mile/kWh though in the winter, I was expecting most of that would be due to cabin heating but I guess it's something else (cold batteries?)

    Is my heating power consumption correct?

    Thanks for the replies, the question is if the display is correct, I'm surprised how little (Or no) energy) the cabin heating uses in the UK winter, according to the display at least.

    Is my heating power consumption correct?

    I seem to use less that 1kwh heating for 7kw driving in the winter, does that seem correct this diaply i think can only show 1kwh blocks so all I know is the heating ls 1kwh or less? - I'm getting 3 to 3.5 mile/kw driving steady so there's a 0.5 to 1kwh increase in use over th summer but maybe...
