You don't need to have the car plugged in to use the remote preheating of the car/defrost system. I'm in Iceland so use the cabin preheating a lot! There's also a defrost function which would clear your windscreen in a fraction of the time. Heated rear window /side-mirrors uses minimal power, so have that on too - that's also available remotely.
@@CarsMadeSimple In Europe (where I am), the car comes with the Bluelink app and there you are able to choose when and how you want to precondition the cabin (we're talking heating/defrosting and/or schedules here). Plus, if your car is permanently outside, then you have the option to schedule cabin heating/defrosting according to your needs on a daily/weekly/permanent basis. Even if you have indoor parking, with or without charging facilities, you can use the app to preheat the cabin as you want - do this about ten minutes before you want to drive away. This means you don't have to be physically in the car and hang around waiting for things to heat up and instead have that extra cup of hot coffee - or an extra ten minutes in bed..!
I had seen a couple of videos where people suggested not having the defroster blow on the windshield When it is sun zero as the speculation was the center of the glass heats faster that the edges and has caused the thin windshield to crack.
That is a possibility. This was set to auto so it was blowing on the windshield and the floor simultaneously. If I set it to defrost, all the air would have been going to the windshield which may have more potential to crack under extreme conditions.
Yes. And efficiency. Many residential heat pumps will produce heat to -5F / -20C. But I see a car pump is also regulating temp from active battery, other components so maybe it can produce at lower temps if shielded from wind etc? Thanks
@@FighterFrank. why the hell I'm I mad if I got electric car on order. I'm in the forum's and alot people screens cracked. Your waisting more energy than if you were in a ice car. By my calculations 10 times more co2.
@@rajindernijjer 😂 most clueless comment for a long time. CO2 usage to do this with an ice, would be up to 100 times more. Depending where your power comes from. A normal ice even use more electrical power than an average EV. In addition to ice itself.

Does all of that come on automatically with the remote start or do you have to set it up in the app/car?

Advice: Familiarize yourself with the menus beforehand. ;-)
Press EV > {three horizontal lines/hamburger } > Energy information > Energy consumption.
Thanks!
It seems like a no-brainer to me to brush snow off the windows and not expect the heater/defroster to do ALL the work.
Is there literature on the Ioniqs heat pump ranges? I haven’t seen any.
Heat Pump ranges? As in operating temps?
Yes. And efficiency. Many residential heat pumps will produce heat to -5F / -20C.
But I see a car pump is also regulating temp from active battery, other components so maybe it can produce at lower temps if shielded from wind etc?
Thanks
nice vid again bro
Appreciate it! Have a good holiday weekend. 🎄
This is what the defroster is for. Also to see consumption. Push the EV as you did. Then the hamburger on top
Thaw frozen breaks
-20 degrees below zero.
I'd been gone in 2 mins in gasoline car
You could have cleared the windshield and been gone in 20 seconds. The point of this video was to show how quickly it defrosts over an ICE vehicle.
@@CarsMadeSimple guess why loads electric car drivers had there screens cracked then.
