Hi All:
First off, thanks to everyone who provided me with some much-needed input on my new purchase. I notice that everytime I turn the heat on in the car, the engine starts right up. It will run in EV mode for a few minutes but eventually the motor starts even with a solid battery charge. This happens a lot even once the blue temperature light goes off. Is this normal? I'm in NY where the avg. temp is hovering around 36 degrees now. It almost seems as if the heater requires a lot of energy to stay powered. Should I expect similar results in the summer with the AC?
