hi all
new to the forums so apologies if this is in the wrong place, please redirect as needed.
does anyone know a rough estimate for the power draw from the car to heat or cool the battery? not interested in the cabin overheat protection...just purely the energy needed to keep the battery warm in the winter and cool in the summer. the reason i ask is that my garage gets cold (-10 to -15C in the winter) and warm (above 35C) in the summer. im debating putting in a 14-30 (30amp, 24 usable) or 14-50 (50 amp, 40 usable) line. i can live with the 14-30 assuming the battery heating/cooling doesnt take too much away from charging. from what ive read you get about 30km range an hour on a 14-30 socket. thats fine for my needs. however if for example the car is drawing 6 amps to cool the battery (or to heat in winter) then im really only drawing 18 of my 24 amps for the battery charging...which is about 20km of range an hour. these numbers are just for an example...i have no idea what a typical draw is for the heating or cooling loops so i dont know if i should expect a minimal or massive drop once the weather hits either extreme.
any help you can offer is appreciated. if you have a 14-30 line and have a hot or cold climate what is the typical charging range you get?
thanks kindly
