I just picked up another Airpax 250A for $67 shipped, so once that gets here I can set it up for 540A fun.

I am really glad I have working heat, today was 1/4" of ice on my EV so I have to heat it up and scrap it off.

Yesterday my 41+ mile shopping trip with heat running constantly (1.5 hours round trip) I pulled 17.74 KWh from the wall. So that is basically that is 16.3 KWh back into the pack since my Elcon is at max 92% efficient.

So with heat running its 433 WH/Mi from the wall and 398 WH/Mi from the batteries with full ~2.5 KW heater running. That means I have a safe 52 mile winter range and a 80+ range in the summer. I'm a happy camper!
