Elelctric cars are boring right??
well. Electrick car would be way too cold now, its -20 celcuis now...
and that is one excellent point which I forgot.
You go OUT to your frozen, even here sometimes gets below 0 F, sometimes LOTS. So now your battery back is what, 20 % of it's normal rating? As I speak it's abnormally warm here, but still in the low 40's F at 4:PM. Even that temp degrades battery ratings by nearly half
And heat then is WHAT? Electric seat heaters? Conventional hot water head from the tiny under-used 1 banger? and we add...............
headlights, something for windshield/ rear/ side defrost, other running lights, stereo, charging our laptop/ I-thing, etc, GPS and I don't--know--what--else.
If these things use electric heat, your average bathroom wall heater is at least a KW, so think about that. Is a KW going to heat a car? Maybe. What kind of drain is that on the battery pack? LOTS.
We haven't even begun to address winter driving. It takes LOTS more power to push through snow, even on plowed roads, and since you cannot go as fast on snowy, icy, roads, your mileage just went right out the door, but YOU STILL need the headlights, heater, etc during all this time.
