We had an air cooled Same, that had a extra alternator for the heating, brilliant on a cold morning, instant heat.What way was cabs heated of the deutz tractors with air cooled engine
Forget the hills - you get the energy back going down again. And why would you have aircon and heated seat on at the same time? Or radio and CD player for that matter?I believe that would be battery back up. And as with air-con, lights, radio. CD player and four passengers plus luggage, navigating a 1.3 uphill pull, that makes a hoooge difference to the miles the vehicle can travel before the lights go out.

True, but a reasonably high percentage.You only get a percentage back
Just hot air from the engine on the one I hadWhat way was cabs heated of the deutz tractors with air cooled engine
you get some of the energy back going down again... but unless you add extra weight at the top of the hill, as is the case with some electric mine trucks that bring material down hillsides, then a mile with a hill in the middle greatly reduces range compared to driving a flat mile.Forget the hills - you get the energy back going down again.

Good that the range reduction doesn't apply to petrol or diesel cars. Oh wait...I believe that would be battery back up. And as with air-con, lights, radio.

are you thinking what happens when the battery is flat and your stuck in a snow drift....As above ,I ask as no water getting heated from engine block.
