I don't use the data sensor tools others on the forum do to confirm the numbers, but it makes sense that level-2 energy is first being used to power the PTC and circulator pump, you can hear it when first plugging in the truck, the battery is warmed just enough to make it chemically safe to begin charging.
Sorry for the O/T observations in this thread but I wanted to follow-up on my prior post, comparing it to this mornings 30 minute remote start session, I actually used less energy today while it was 20° outside, only 2.51 KWH, and the energy flow by the minute was a more typical profile today than previously, a few minutes of peak energy, then a tapering down, then cycling.I observed something odd this morning, we had a mild raining night Friday into Saturday, wake up temps in the low 50's, I used the remote starter for a 15 minute cabin warming session, using 4.2 KWH, this was a bit more than I've used in the past typically 2-3 KWH.
