I have some preliminary data for the 2013 heat pump with some winter temperatures. So far it is pretty impressive, but with the weather getting warmer most of the serious winter data will need to wait. So far all data has been with Eco mode since that seems to produce heat perfectly well with the heat pump. Heat is nearly instantaneous when started.
All data is with the climate control set to heat, auto, 68F. No pre-warming.
I will add data as I collect it.
28F heater used 3kW to start and then dropped to 1.5kW after a few minutes then dropped to ~ 1kW for the rest of my 30 minute commute
32F heater used 2.5kW to start and then dropped to 1.5kW after a few minutes then dropped to ~ 0.75kW for the rest of my 30 minute commute
40F heater used 1.5kW to start and then dropped to 1kW after a few minutes then dropped to ~ 0.5kW for the rest of my 30 minute commute
48F heater used 1.5kW to start and then dropped to 0.5kW after a few minutes then toggled between 0 and ~0.5kW for the rest of my 30 minute commute
