My GOM estimate has gone up recently. Was 269 miles at 100% in eco mode this morning.
Exactly. And one of the main reasons for the difference is that the heated seats transfer the energy straight to your backside whereas the heating system is warming up and changing the whole cars' air mass in a moving single glazed metal house. Just imagine if you had electric storage heating in your house, with single glazing and if somehow the house moved at 70mph. Brrrr. ( and £!!! )I think the benefit of the heated seats is that they use much less power, they're only about 40w, whereas the heating on is about 3000w. So you could have the seats on for 75 hours and use as much power as an hour of heating!!!
It will go back down if you reset your trip meter. Well it does on the ZS.My GOM estimate has gone up recently. Was 269 miles at 100% in eco mode this morning.
6 pairs of socks and you will be fine.All this talk of heated seats makes me think I should have bought the exclusive. Problem is that heated seats won't warm up my feet. Generally that is where I want the heat.

Exactly, why bother having aircon etc if you’re not gonna use them. I’d rather be comfortable (and focused) than getting a couple of extra miles per chargeUnless I was on a long journey where battery capacity was ultra critical I'd just use the heating system in exactly the same manner I would on an ICE car.
