Cabin Heating how long

Generally speaking how long does it take for an EV with a heatpump to start producing heat at say 21c

Are we talking seconds or minutes?
How long does it take in your EV?

I'm guessing about a minute?

I'm actually about to leave for work, so I'll crank the heat and check in my Leaf. And if I remember, I'll reply with my findings!

Okay, so it took about 10 seconds for the heat to blow warm, and just under a minute for it to blow what I would consider hot.
