    I got this $20 Ryobi 4 inch 18 volt battery powered fan at Home Depot.

    RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless 4 in. Clamp Fan (Tool Only)-PCF02B - The Home Depot

    It is great for working on the car, additional cooling while driving or waiting in the car with the windows down.

    On a long trip in excessive heat, it could be placed under the rear seat to direct additional air to the HV fan intake.

    With a 3AH battery at low speed, I ran it continuously, and it lasted more than 18 hours, before it automatically cut off to keep the battery safe from draining any more.

    I'm impressed.
