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?

No, this is an Enfield 8000 Bicini (Moke) Chris.

Either way, is the lack of heater an issue,

Only re defrosting the screen. If it gets bad I can just drop it
forward onto the bonnet. ;-)

or do the batteries and motors keep you warm in winter or something?

Keeping your hat, coat and gloves on keep you warm ... and if I wasn't
in that I could be on a motorbike. ;-)

And after all, we live in England, not Siberia so it rarely get's that
cold these days (especially when you are dressed accordingly). ;-)
