What happens if he needs the heater and the wipers etc as well though?


On my EV there is no heater and the wipers and lights etc run from an
independent auxiliary battery so wouldn't affect the range as such,
especially in the dry and daytime. ;-)

Is this the DIY Morris Minor EV that was mentioned on the BBC this morning?

Either way, is the lack of heater an issue, or do the batteries and motors keep you warm in winter or something?


I can see travel rugs, driving gloves and car coats coming back in fashion.
