I have the controls installed for the heating system, I just need to get Antifreeze and a plastic hose to fill the system.

I did another decent drive today, this time I had 35-50 MPH speeds, hills and lots of stop and go. I now have a Kill-A-Watt meter and it was 5.04 KWh from the wall for 15.6 miles. My previous EV was about 400 Wh/mi from the wall, and this charge took 323 Wh/mi from this last drive. It was raining out so there was some good drag on the EV and I have to relearn EV driving, but I think I can bring it down to 250 Wh/mi with better driving.

Anyways, I have very happy with the EV and Monday I start commuting so let's hope the heater functions tomorrow without any problems!
