Remote heat is why my wife fell in love with our 2013. While she likes the torque, steering wheel heater, and a few other things..its the remote heat still as feature number 1. Even better, remote heat in the garage.
We recently had some work done, and had to live in an apartment for a couple weeks. Wow, starting from (it was cold) 10F to -6F is a whole different power draw situation from a 40-50F garage. The amount of idle power usage was huge. Not such a big deal to charge every few days back at the house, but if it was public charging only..thst would be frustrating.
We have a kid heading off to college in the fall, and wife really wants a larger car to haul. I don't want a new car and additional car payment, but I am not likely to win this debate. It looks like MachE, ID4, EV6, Ionic5, and MY all have about 30 cubic feet in the rear. So about 20% larger than the Leaf. Any other US based EVs with larger trunk sections? (No chance of getting a Rivian or F150 by then, and also well beyond our means). I really don't want to go back to an ice.
Thanks in advance.
