We haven't even begun to discuss what happens when it's goes down in the teens for months on end. We have 3 months a year that the highs are in the low 30s and lows are mid teens. Just curious, how do you warm the car/truck and keep it warm, and how much does that cut into your range?
It’s called a heater or heat pump depending on manufacturer. Doesn’t take much to heat a car or truck. Once ours is warm I seldom see the draw go over 500 watts. Seats are also heated...and steering wheel. Even mid range cars have 60 KWH batteries now. A 200 kWh battery in a truck wouldn’t see much impact.
Our car is programmed to pre-heat 10 minutes before I step out the door. Car is always toast and warm and defrosted when I get to it. :).
