According to the energy use display on the navigation screen, it draws a maximum of 1.5 kW while stopped and it can approach 4.5 kW on an extremely hot day after being parked in the sun when moving above 18 mi/hr until it cools down the interior (power fluctuates to match cooling needs).
Are these numbers for before or after you had the dealer change the settings?
These numbers are recent observations so after the setting changes. The 12-volt battery was completely discharged in January (sat for a few days) due to telematics upgrade so I don't know if the settings reverted to default. The settings only affect the energy use while stopped or below 12 mi/hr. The ramping and cooling capability above 18 mi/hr are not affected by the settings.
My (presumably-unmodified) 2014 LEAF shows those exact same numbers, so it sounds like your setting may have gotten reverted at some point. Anyway, I am glad to find out about this. I am going to call the dealer tomorrow and ask them if they can do this to mine!
