Listen to your wife, no matter how cold it is it doesn't stop me, I have a great heater in my PiP it's called the gas engine!
The pre heater I ordered is manufactured by Defa (Norweigan I think) It consist of a block heater, usually 300-500Watts and then there is a cabin heater also from Defa. In Sweden they are often at least 700Watts. All in all to take full advantage of a 220V 6Ampere outlet. When sub-zero degrees and often down to -10-20 degrees celsius you need this pre heating. Looking forward to the summer
you're right, but when you're only going a few miles here and there in this weather, the ice won't provide much heat anyway.
and outside temps. the colder it gets, the more i want heat and the longer it takes. plus, in all honesty, i like ev miles
I need to check that out, grill blocking. I have read about it but don't know how exactly how it's done. I have seen a few threads about it here. Thanks.
Yep, I have at least two trips a day of 2.7 miles, takes me about 4-6 minutes. I do that in all EV. I can't see the need for heat for such a short trip. Ask me again after the next four days!
Nope a hot 20 degrees but wait till tonight -13, high Sunday -5 low -26, Monday -12 low -26, Tuesday -3 low -16. At least no snow! like you!
we got hit pretty hard, especially along the coast. not bad here, 12-15" of light and fluffy. it's the cold i can't stand. if we had temps like you, i would have to knock my house down and build a superinsulated one. i think i've used half a tank of oil in the last week just trying to keep it in the mid 60's.
I think I'd have a little Folgers stored somewhere. If I didn't have a filter, I'd use a paper towel before going out in those temps
