Hi guys,

I run a 250W compressor based dehumidifier on my EV to clear up the windscreen condensation on cold/rainy days. But this is a major overkill, considering the moisture content on a small space such as a car and the fact it uses quite a bit of space on the back seat.

Using the heater works too, at the expense of far more energy, which for an EV is not always reasonable.

I've read some reviews of peltier based dehumidifiers, which are cr*p.. Not surprisingly, the commercial versions run at 60W input power! With that I was thinking about building a 48V 250W unit. Sure peltiers are inefficient, but I would need those 250W of heat power anyway, so lets consider that a bonus.

Has someone used one of the smaller versions or built a DIY? If so, exactly how much water was extracted? Or perhaps other types of dehumidifier (Desiccant for example).

Thanks
