[oil pan 4]

I was preheating the cabin to defrost it so I didn't crash into something or someone. With a gasoline vehicle using an electric heater avoids running the engine for up to 20 minutes to melt ice off the wind shield. 20 minutes of running the engine and not going anywhere is not very efficient.
When I warm it up with the electric heater I can disconnect the heater, start the car drive the car slowly and it will warm up while going down the road achieving something greater than 0mpg.

In an electric vehicle I don't normally use the heat unless I absoluty have to.

I tried "covering the windshield", yeah I started going down the road it frosts up and I can't see anything until the car can get warm enough to defrost it's self.
After the 3rd time this happened I gave up on it.
Once the windshield defrosts in the drive way you know it's probably not going to freeze back up on the road.

Plus at least for the winter I'm putting my leaf in my semi heated garage.

As long as i didnt have to go outof my way very far I wouldn't hesitate to lawfully hunt polar bears, eat their meat, wear their fur and give their bones to my dogs for them to chew on.
