RE: [DML] Re: Major milestone in the Electric DeLorean project

I know this is off D topic, but one thing to keep in mind down the road is a heater. My Ford Ranger EV does not lose as much range with the AC as it does with the heater (The AC essentially equals the amount of regenerative braking so it's a push. Turn on the heat and the pack voltage needle plummets.) My wife bought me a 12v Homedics seat heater that works OK and doesn't kill the range nearly as much.
