I wonder if the tested models had systems that warm up the batteries.

I'm curious also how much climate control factors in.

Do the heaters use waste heat or draw from the battery?

I am sure that AC and battery warmers would have to burn some significant juice.

The Canadian version of the Leaf has a battery heater.
