Hi,

for a solar boat project, I'm considering adding two heater / A/C systems from two Nissan Leafs, since I may use the drive system from those as well.

Has anyone tried / documented getting the heater / A/C to work outside of the car? It's probably the cheapest heatpump based heater one could get.

Greetings

Haha, thanks!

Yep, exactly. The heater in the Leaf uses the heatpump above roughly 5°C, but most of the time the water should be above that as well, so I think it should be a great way to heat with minimal energy!

And if it actually drops lower, it'll just use the resistive heater.
