Ben: glad to see you're addressing battery heat this winter. I thought of the electro-Metro last week when temps here dropped below normal, and I could really feel the effects in the little bit of driving I did in the uninsulated ForkenSwift.

No plans to address this issue with the ForkenSwift though - it probably won't be driven in the winter anyway, partly to preserve the car's body from more winter salt corrosion.

Why's that? Do you use a communal plug for power?
