Forgot to add: In 2011 we had a meeting with the Leaf's Chief Engineer; Hidetoshi Kadota, and I explained this problem and asked why no heat pump? So in 2013 they rolled out a heat pump, and on the base models added a switch to disable the PTC coolant heater. So only 2011 & 2012 models suffer fro

I know about the severe drain of the PTC heater (and its many-minutes-delay before supplying heat) so if I need to change the interior temperature or get rid of moisture, I prefer to open the windows a bit, rarely using the A/C, and in winter combine this with intermittent bursts of using the winds

Heat pump was introduced in 2013 and equipped on SV or SL models. Starting in 2018 they made it optional on SV. I don't know what the recent models are like. On Thu, Jan 9, 2025 at 11:03 AM redscooter via EV wrote: > how do I know which years/ trims have the heating heat pump. > > like from
