Have any other EV owners worked out battery usage of AC in your car?

You're answering so many of my questions - thanks!

Never owned any EV..but I had this same question in my mind for so long. Thank you !

Let get in, before I pass out... This got me rolling. Thanks for uploading..

Thanks. Love your accessible style

Good video..

Maybe also try keeping the headlights on and wipers along with heating. Because we will be using those things in a cold and rainy day.

thx i like this video. i liked the car aswell (new model) but been scared off, no heatpump and the ''big'' battery size was so disapointing ty dit not fit the 70kwh version. Prices of the MG's areso atractive Marvel R looks great on paperbut fails the consumption. Last hope was the MG4 the seen the picture from the models being schiped and ty forgot to include a interiur cockpit (tesla and vw style) just to keep price down on there end!!! But annyway love the video's on the EV life, this test will do the same for other cars

But you were not moving! Drive around the block awhile?

Very interesting little test, I conclude from that in real world motorway traffic scenario as is often spouted by the EV hate brigade would have even less of a cause for concern. Given the car would already have a nicer ambient temperature at the point you get stuck in traffic. To only drop a few % in an hour including taking the temperature down from 41 degrees shows how little weight there is to that argument

Only ever activated the AC on my Fiat 500e for 5 mins every month for maintenance purposes. During winter, the car has the heating on minimum with the fan on the lowest setting and the car is comfortable. In summer, heating is off with the fan running at second lowest setting which keeps the interior cool because of the tinted glass.

Just dial in a reasonable temp(i use 18 celcius) and hit auto winter snd summer. Always comfortable minimum range loss in 40kwh leaf.

What was the Ac temperature

10 miles an hour not bad

You need to do this test with the car moving.

When you do your heating test in winter please do it in real world terms. By that I mean that you think about starting at a reasonable temperature such as would happen if you came to a halt in snow. And also remember that in the real world you would only be maintaining the ambient temperature. Not trying to grow tomatoes on the back seat. So you would not be setting it to maximum temperature and highest fan speed. I tested my own EV from -6 to 21 and it took 7 minutes with the electric varying between 2 and 6 amps until it reached the set temperature when it backed off to 2 amps. Not a lot when you consider the size of the battery.

not all ev batts are created equal, another brand can easily be half as good as that

I have a MG 5 it's great, doe's anyone have back pain with long journeys?

10 miles an hour is higher than i expected or wanted. surprised by that number. There will be a 110kw EV big van with 250 mile range in the market in a month or two in the US and it's a question i had, how many nights can i run the OEM AC on low overnight parked (9pm to 6am), but the van will also have a 110v 15amp outlets and the option of a 500w 5000btu test is a question I had, because in theory that might run for days even with conversion losses so it surprises me that an EV OEM AC would consume >2kw when a wall unit only consumes .5kw per hour.
