More moons ago, more than I want to count, I had a nice VW van, which I took into the mountains of California and about froze to death. Indeed we left early because the heater on the van could not keep up.

Since that day, I was confused; I wondered why it was that a vehicle designed in, well a very cold mountainous country, has such an inadequate heater. I don’t know. Maybe they just learned to bundle up.

Now, it has again brought to mind. Germany does make battery powered cars, VW, Porches, I think Audis. Do they have problems with their batteries when it gets cold as Teslas.

I don’t know. I haven’t heard one way or the other. I welcome comments. Does anyone with a German made car have problems in Chicago, or Green Bay?

I do have a curiosity, an interest in finding out.

Incidentally, the van heater was fine as long as I kept it out of the mountains.
