Experts Recommend You Avoid Using Heat In Your EV
I have a memory of someone for a big outlet reviewing the old Chevy Volt and complaining that her toes were frozen because she didn’t want to turn the heat on as that would significantly reduce the range. Now we learn (again) from the UK Telegraph as cold weather is hitting the UK and winter is coming
Think twice about using hot air blower during cold snap, electric drivers warned
Drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) have been warned they should think twice before turning on their hot air blowers during the cold weather.
Having a battery rather than an internal combustion engine (ICE) means EVs have to use more electricity to generate their own heat.
Experts have warned this could drain the batteries of their electric cars – particularly older ones – and reduce their range.
Unlike with petrol and diesel cars, owners of EVs do not get to enjoy the luxury of the “effectively free” heat which is created as a by-product of simply having the engine running in ICE vehicles.
Instead, they have to use a “more substantial” amount of battery capacity to keep warm, which decreases how far they can drive.
The warning comes as Britons brace themselves for snow, rain and gusts of 70mph in the form of Storm Bert this weekend.
Sounds great! The UK government is trying to force all their serfs, er, citizens into EVs and saying “don’t use the heat” while also making it more difficult and expensive to hear their homes and businesses. Of course, you know the people forcing this on the peasants aren’t doing it themselves. Their fossil fueled limos are probably nice and toasty.
What happens when the windshield is iced over? And snow all over the body? Using heat for defrost? Anyhow, it’s not as big a deal here in the U.S. since our energy costs are much lower, but, good luck with long road trips in the winter.
