Re: Car Heater control ?

[patrickl@xxxxxxx]

Preheating car radiators, so that the car itself starts quickly and
the interior warms up fast, is common practice in Nordic parts and
also in some parts of the states. Ericsson's staff carpark on the
outskirts of Stockholm even has one power outlet per space. The
socket normally pokes through the radiator grill. The heaters are
relatively low wattage, so running cost should not be an issue.
Shouldn't be too difficult to find a supplier, I would have thought.
(Didn't one list member recently move to Malmo?)
