But if you're fleeing a hurricane, chances are you have the air conditioner on. It's generally hot and humid. You. Any have the windows open because of the rain, but you need the AC to keep the windshield clear. How does that affect battery use in an EV?
- fullstop 4y agoTesla has "Camp Mode" which can regulate the temperature for nearly two days on a full charge. I don't have a Tesla, but maybe someone here does and can chime in.
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoYou can idle a ICE car for maybe 16 hours easily with a half-tank, although this varies a lot [1]. With rationing your fuel, running for 10-30 minutes for every hour, you can maintain survivable temperature for at least double that (32 hours on half tank) to perhaps 96 hours, or 4 days. Double that for a full tank of gas. If you want EVs to take over, get feature parity with the current technology.
