The thermal mass does quite well in keeping the temps up. This morning it was 27F out but the pack was at 46F. I didn't take the EV to work as I need to verify the plug functions but it looks good.

I definitely need a better heater for these 10F days. I can keep the windows clear but the cabin takes forever to heat up, almost 30 minutes. This summer I want to replace my 1000w water heater with two 1500 watt ceramic cores for instant heat. My Solectria has a ~1000w ceramic heater and it works great. But for now I will get by.
