Looking at purchasing a Rav4 EV and was curious about the energy efficiency of the HVAC system. Particularly as it relates to defrosting the windows as I can deal with having a cool cabin.
I currently own a 2011 Nissan Leaf and using the HVAC is just miserable. I avoid it at all costs. The most frustrating thing is that you aren't able to just blow outside air inside the car without the heater/ac coming on.
Do you have the ability to just turn on the fan in the Rav4 EV without turning on the heater/ac? This usually is enough to do the trick for getting the windows defrosted. If you've got experience/feedback on this that'd be great. Curious how this has impacted the range on your trips.
