Default Re: EV mode and heater

No econ switch or electric heater in the NAH.

I didn't think the TCH had the electric heater - only the Prius. I don't think there's any economy gain anyway with the electric heater as the power for that has to come from the battery which has to come from the ICE - there's no free ride. I thought the electric heater was more of a comfort feature to produce heat before the coolant has a chance to warm up.
