Hey yall! I've never posted on here before, but I've been looking into alternative ways to keep my windshield defogged while driving in the cold. I've been able to drive my little SparkEV long(ish) distances with precisely timed charges and slower driving on highways as the winter has begun to set in in my area, but one problem that I have been facing has been keeping my front windshield window defogged. I've thought about maybe getting a small car defogger "space heater" basically that would plug into my 12V power port, but I am not sure if running that will effect my battery life and ability to drive 40ish mile stretches on my way to work. Do you think that would affect my battery just as much as using the heating in the actual car? Or since it's drawing power from the 12V will it not effect the overall High Voltage battery that powers the driving range?? I'm just kind of looking for outside perspective who might have more experience in driving the spark than me. This is my first winter wanting to drive my spark longer distances (new job further away as compared to previous years), and I am just worried about not being able to make it to my regular chargers that I stop at on my way in to work each day.

Let me know your thoughts!
