Very sad that my 'i' does NOT like the cold, and it wasn't even THAT cold last week !
I didn't do a perfect measure, just drove it like I normally do.
Battery consumption was great compared to what I normally get in my 8 mile total drive to work.
I charge at work now, so battery was cold when I left. But I did "warm " it up a bit.
I DO NOT have a battery remote, so I just went out and started it and turned the heater on.
Next day I just left and turned on the seat heater and Cabin heater a little bit (DD was not pleased).
What normally takes 2 bars to get to work now took 4 This was driving in B mode and going fast until I got up to speed. But that is what I have been doing normally.
I am just glad that I work so close.
I am wondering if I should hook up a timer and have the car charge in the Morning for about an hour or so before I leave.
BTW, I live in Boston so it WILL be getting cold here soon.
