Hi Chris.AC on?
Hi. Chris.Sorry Peter, I was a bit too succinct
If the air conditioning is on, the range shows about a 15% drop. This is a calculation made by the system and it only shows when you power on and the car detects the AC. I've found if I just have the fan on without heating (as you're certain to be using in Brisbane at the moment) I don't actually lose that much range (I'd guess closer to 5-10%). It's worth keeping an eye on it though and seeing how your efficiency (kWh/100km) varies between AC on and off.
