    As a general rule, I use my climate control in the afternoons, when it's much warmer. On cold mornings, I don't - though I will on very damp mornings to combat misty windows. I have noticed I do not hear the HV battery cooling fan when I use Climate Control, but I do in the afternoons if I don't. One more thing I've repeatedly observed is that the HV battery charge appears much stronger / lasts longer when using Climate Control.

    I believe the cool cabin air being drawn into the battery compartment is a definite plus.
