Install one of those diesel heaters from China.🤔
The beatle heaters were NOT electric they were heat exchangers on the exhaust system.
That’s the Ford powerboost.🤨
You really lack reading comprehension skills, don’t you?
I said, “Ford doesn’t recommend relying ONLY on heated seats.” Emphasis has been added for the reading impaired. Nothing, at least as quoted, says anything about not using the HVAC. But yeah, that does use power.
Yes, Ford is advising people how to maintain optimal range in conditions which are sub-optimal for their batteries. No, they are not recommending extraordinary measures like demanding you drive it unheated.
Quit being a smarmy jackass. I read just fine. Directly from the Ford release:
“Use the heated steering wheel and seats for warmth instead of the climate control system. “
Ford said NOTHING about NOT depending on the heated seats and wheel. They use those instead of the HVAC.
>> “Use the heated steering wheel and seats for warmth instead of the climate control system.” <<
I don’t know where you got that from, but that’s not what they wrote. From the Ford release linked to from the OP:
“4. If equipped, use the heated seats and steering wheel as PRIMARY heat TO REDUCE energy consumed by HVAC.” (Emphasis added for the reading impaired.)
“Primary” supposes that others exist. “To reduce” presumes that the HVAC will still be helping to supply heat.
“You have a point, my bad. I should say “Globalist Supporters”
Wrong again.
I own an EV, which suits my purposes. I am neither a globalist nor support them.
Ford still making them....I have a 2022 F-150 “Powerboost” hybrid...7,200 watts of A/C (120/240v) in the bed of the truck. (And 23 MPG on the highway).
yes criminal leader
Remember the optional gasoline fired heater on the Corvairs? That was definitely the “hot setup” (bad pun I know). But it was awesome. Zero warmup time.
Seek help.
Yup the only problem is you had to keep taking it apart to clean the jet nozzle,a real pain.😵💫
Why would you be IN your car while it’s charging?
Because standing outside the vehicle at a commercial charger in freezing weather is stupid.
Also when Fedgov builds does the ‘woke’ thing and builds all the public charging stations in ‘underserved communities’ and you have nowhere else to hide.
>> Why would you be IN your car while it’s charging? Because standing outside the vehicle at a commercial charger in freezing weather is stupid. <<
Why would you be hanging around your car while charging it at a public charger? Even if you’re long-distance traveling or something where you use up so much energy you need a midday charge, frickin’ go inside and grab a coffee.
It is hard for me to believe that motor companies would even talk about changing over to electric vehicles with all the inherent problems. It seems to me like cutting your own throat as a business practice. I should think that almost anyone(especially if they live in a climate with cold winters)would recognize the problems these things present & avoid them like the plague. I guess I was assuming the heaters the article talked about was battery heaters, as a battery normally works better at a moderate temp, but even the cab heaters use battery power, so you can’t win either way in the winter.Rechargeable battery power is a great idea in many instances, but not for normal vehicles & not for winter use.
Sorry wrong post
