isnt that an engine block heater? my dad used to have one on his car and in the morning he would go plug it in and would heat up the car without turning it on
That's how freakin cold it gets.... without it, the car often can't start.
They have them all over Canada too - I'm sure all over any cold locations... go pickup food, you can plug your car in, park for work - plug your car in, park it for the night and want to make it work on time, plug your car in.
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
It keeps your engine warm so it will start in the cold. Keeps the oil thin so the engine turns over easier.
You can get battery warmers, too. But if you have a good battery, and a plugged in block heater, the oil will remain thin and even a weak battery will start the car.
I have acquaintances in Northern Canada that will actually leave their vehicles running 24/7 in the real cold months of winter. It can get chilly up here!
i grew up with block heaters. my 911 does have an actual trickle charger that plugs in to the cigarette lighter though. it's parked 6 months of the year, so, the battery dies without it.
