    And even faster if you're traveling 155 mph in a headwind in cold conditions!

    Turn your cabin heat down a few degrees and use the heated seats (and steering wheel) instead. it uses significantly less energy.

    Range mode, if you have it, is effective in reducing excessive HVAC consumption.

    Make sure to do a good preconditioning before driving if it’s below 0c. The battery heater kills range fast! Also as others mentioned - use dear and steering wheel heaters. I keep the cabin heat at 18 or 19c in the winter and its fine. Even with all the preheating and low heat use, I’ll loose about 40% on the highway on cold winter days. Half of that is going 130km/hr other half is the cold.
