Mycket och bra sammanfattad vinter-info här, och en del som iaf inte jag hade koll på!
Kan nog döda en del "jag tro att det funkar så här"-diskussioner....

T.ex. intressant om Range mode:

T.ex. intressant om Range mode:
Range mode reduces the amount of power used by the heaters. This is most useful if you're heading out on a long road trip and your car is cold soaked.
Once the car is fully warmed up Range Mode doesn't really do anything - the power required to maintain battery and cabin temperature is modest. In fact if you preheat the car before you leave Range Mode doesn't do much of anything.
Unfortunately Range Mode also operates when you're preheating the car. As we'll see below, preheating while plugged in prior to a long road trip will significantly improve your range. You want the battery pack and cabin nice and toasty. Unfortunately Range Mode gets in the way! It reduces heater power even though you're plugged in. The result is less preheat and more range consumed!
Therefore my recommendation is that Range Mode normally be turned OFF. Use it if you have to start driving a cold-soaked car - in that situation it might just save your bacon. All all other times turn it off; otherwise you'll do what I do and forget it's on. Then you'll slap your forehead when you jump in your car and discover it's not as well preheated as you expected!
