@D0li0@Barnacules@jeremyjudkins_ Where are they getting the electricity from to maintain the battery temps? Either it’s being cannibalize from the battery reserves or is being trickle charged by being plugged in. Imagine that, the issue is universal among ICE and EV for the same reasons.
Tell me again how an EV is going to keep its battery warm enough to operate in adverse conditions? Where is that electricity ultimately going to come from?
These outlets are on timers, and 10-15 minutes at 600 watts at 120vac is going to be a significantly less amount of charge that my Tesla battery will cannibalize from itself to keep it perpetually warm.
Your head is up your ass
Which an engine block heater will not assist with. In extreme conditions, a battery blanket is required to maintain enough cold cranking amps. Amperage loss due to extreme cold is universal to all batteries, it just so happen my Tesla will cannibalize its own charge to keep its battery at a minimum acceptable temperature range
@HeadBand42@jeremyjudkins_ Correct, but oil viscosity changes due to temperature swings is universal unless you’re wanting to violate the laws of physics
@BenFullOpoop@jeremyjudkins_ get back to me when you understand about voltage drops in batteries due to cold conditions. I’ll let you in on a little secret, it’s universal to all batteries.
@Kep22a@jeremyjudkins_ Sure it will, at the cost of excessive wear. Lived in Fairbanks for a bit, very familiar with it. Wait till you find out I own a Tesla as well
