Let's suppose ICE vehicles are gone and it's all EV.
I'm sure we have all been in a situation where there is a major issue on the road, a bad wreck, a weather problem, whatever. The highway is closed for many hours while they address the situation, perhaps even overnight or longer. And its January. You and everyone else is sitting there trying to stay warm and you have a 3 mile lineup of EVs with dead batteries....
How good are the heaters in an EV, and how much power do they draw?
How do you rescue hundreds of motorists and clear a highway full of dead battery vehicles?
Hi Bob,
They use heat pumps. I suspect the EV would fare far better than the ICE in such a context. Heat seaters are resistance based but draw little energy. Mine draw about 50 watts.
It would be interesting to know how B.C. solved the issues of all the ice cars that were trapped by mud slides before and behind them.
