They are both drawing current, and the trucks blower is putting out considerably more air than the original heater fan. I'd go with Lee's observation that it's likely they never really drew 1500W when plugged into AC in the first place. And yes, I did notice that they draw significantly more for the first few seconds. -- Try my Sensible Email package! https://sourceforge.net/projects/sensibleemail/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
