Literally just need a 120V outlet. You can’t tell me that exterior outlets are rare or expensive. The fuel saved in a single year would easily exceed the price

Literally just need a 120V outlet.
You can’t tell me that exterior outlets are rare or expensive. The fuel saved in a single year would easily exceed the price of putting some exterior outlets in a parking lot.

- organsnyder 6y agoBlock heaters are only needed for diesel vehicles or areas with really low temperatures. I live in Michigan and the only block heaters I know of are used for school buses.
- 29083011397778 6y agoI guess I'm wrong. I assumed they'd be more common, given how everyone I know has one in southern Alberta (Canada). I thought America would be similar in areas to the North. Granted, -40 (which it gets to here) does count as really low.
- kelnos 6y agoMaybe not, but it's possible many post offices would need electrical supply upgrades to handle having their entire fleet plugged in all at once. Not impossible or even difficult, but not free either.
