Question on Lightning energy usage - break down of definitions on usage screen

[thecoloradokid]

Team:

Sorry if this has been asked before, but did not find anything in either the car manual, or on the forum.

I have had my Lightning for a month now and still in the process of figuring things out, but one thing that has me stumped is what is included in the accessory definition on the power usage screen?

Can anyone provide direction on where to find more details on the energy usage breakdown screen? I would love to figure out how minimize this energy usage since that and climate seem to be the things you can control in terms of the vehicle's energy usage.

Thanks in advance.
