Provided: Weather News

If the car stood on for a long time due to heavy snow ... the driver is worried about how much fuel will be available for the cold.In particular, how should we deal with electric vehicles (EVs), which are said to consume a lot of electricity in heating?

How does EV power consumption change depending on the usage conditions of heating?

There is interesting experimental data.In the JAF user test, we verified how EV power consumption changes due to the terms of heating use.The results of the experiment with different heating use conditions for 5 hours from 7:00 pm to midnight from midnight to midnight, were prepared with the same model EVs of the same model.

Use heating equipment and air conditioning as appropriate

The test car [1], which continued the air conditioner, consumed a lot of power, but the test car using electric blankets [2] remained a lot of power.However, both test cars [2] to [4] have commented that the monitor endures the cold while enduring the partial cold of the body, so don't forget to prepare a thick blanket, a mobile stove, and a winter clothes.。"JAF MATE" editorial department is considering, "If you use an air conditioner if you feel cold, you can reduce the burden on your body by using a heating device with low power consumption and a genuine seat heater."

EVs can use electric blankets in the car!

Can I use electrical products to save electricity?I tend to think, but the power consumption of general electric blankets is 20W to 50W.The advantage of EVs can be extracted, so rather than operating the air conditioner, it is possible to leave the amount of electricity remaining by using a weak power heating device.

Portable battery is convenient

"Potor Bull Battery is useful for striking heavy snowfall and disasters in the event of a disaster," said Ryo Ogasawara of the AUTOBACS Seven Public Relations. If you have a portable battery, you will be able to supply power even in places where you can not power, and will be used as a disaster or home storage battery in addition to staying in the car. In addition to charging mobile products such as smartphones and tablets in the car, it can be supplied to various electrical equipment such as electric blankets and electric pots. "If you charge it well before going out by car, you can use it with confidence for a long time." It is a new place to remember that the stuck occurred on the Hokuriku Expressway in Fukui Prefecture in the moon. In late December 2021, cars have been stuck on national roads in Shiga Prefecture. Be sure to check the weather forecast when you go to an area with a lot of snow, prepare a winter clothes, blanket, etc., and also prepare a weak electric heater for EVs.
