As long as it's in a marine battery box it should be fine. It has to be the sealed type.
That's correct. The battery and inverter would reside on the rear passenger floor on one side, with the heater(s) being safely placed for best...
That's exactly what this system should do: provide a little supplemental heat while driving. It isn't a preheater, although it could serve as one.
A block heater is a (partial) solution for those who don't mind having the ICE run. I did do grille blocking, but it doesn't follow that if I...
And if there is a third option, why not try that...?
A trip the the veterinarian in cold weather. We warmed the car for about 3-4 minutes, then drove about 9 miles, including one steep uphill. I was...
No. These are 120 volt heaters. Most cars' accessory outlets can't handle the amperage needed to provide real heat. Even *one* of the 200 watt...
I'm talking about 41MPG with our hills and with the engine idling for several minutes, on a route that's mostly medium speed highway. That's not...
I'm not sure what you mean. The charging station? Maybe, with an extension cord. If you elaborate I can give a better answer.
I don't expect everyone to be interested. Our consumption is more like 68MPG average, so more EV miles would help.
I've decided to go with two of the 200 watt Lasko heaters for the prototype, because they are so well reviewed, and apparently produce more usable...
Actually, running the ICE - especially long enough to heat the cabin - ruins fuel economy on short trips, and even some medium-length ones. That's...
Just selecting Recirculate eliminates most of that cold air. Some of the rest is probably leakage that can be sealed out. You want at least a...
A heater for the engine coolant that got it hot enough to provide heat as well would be nice, but I'm not sure it would be practical to get that...
The only time I got the tire pressure I wanted was when we picked up the PIP. I asked for 41psi and the service manager got the hose out and...
If you can't understand the difference between a separate power supply and the car's battery (or choose not to), then yes, I agree.
This is from the Leaf forum, originally. It should be equally applicable to the PIP. This idea started out as a way to provide the Prius PHEV...
