I live in BC where most highways are mountain roads, especially the roads I frequent. 14.9kW will not even come close. A 7% grade requires ~60kW in a 2800 lb car. After 10 minutes of that, my battery pack, controller and motor will be overheating big time. And then by the time my 14.9kW genset catches up, I have long since encountered another huge hill.

HA! Good one.
The real reason for the blow dryers is that I didn't feel like spending 5 days R&Ring the eBooger's heater core. I think dealer SRT time is something like 11 hours. No thanks!
EDIT: Wait - you live in Langley, BC! You of all people should know better!
