Optimum speed is around 40 mph. Drag varies as the square of speed.
So not ideal for motorway though goodfor 83 *mph.
You might get 20 miles at that speed, maybe not.

What's the heater like when its rather cold like now?..

Heater works fine. But best to pre-heat it whilst it's plugged in on
charge..


So in reality then not a lot of cop when you need it most;...


Realistically there should be a small oil tank and an oil-burning
heater, though that would be anathema to a purist.

I have a vague notion that some early Beetles sold into the Canadian
market were so equipped. BICBW.
