There is scope too for reducing the electrical lload too. Most of it is
unnecesary anyway. Trivia like electric seats/mirrors/sunroofs.
Delayed lighting, central locking, tyre monitors, parking sensors, heated
seats, rain sensors, power windows, lights-on reminders, and heated
fecking cup-holders...
(OK, I made that last one up, but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't
exist somewhere)
There are USB ones, and you can get a car socket to USB converter, so ...
but, there's a lot of non-trivia: external lights, heated rear screen,
heater fan, wipers, fron & rear. Yes, I know someone suggested vaccuum
wipers like the old 1960s Ford Popular, but how about the rear window?,
Having had to rescue people who ended up with a flat battery, I wouldn't
put lights-on reminders in the non-essentials ;-)
