The cold season is just around the corner, and with it comes the dreaded morning ice scraping. A parking heater, like the EVO heater, promises a solution and ensures cozy warmth in the car even before the journey begins. But how good is the EVO heater really? What do users say about their experiences? In this article, we will get to the bottom of these questions and shed light on the advantages and disadvantages of the EVO heater.
Functionality and Advantages of the EVO Heater
The EVO heater is a fuel-operated parking heater that works independently of the vehicle’s engine. It is integrated into the vehicle’s coolant circuit and heats the coolant, which is then passed through the heat exchanger in the vehicle interior. This pleasantly warms the vehicle interior, defrosts windows, and preheats the engine.
The advantages of the EVO heater include:
- Comfort: Start your day with a warm car and ice-free windows on cold days.
- Safety: The preheated windows provide better visibility and therefore more safety on the road.
- Engine protection: A preheated engine is less susceptible to wear and tear and has reduced cold start wear.
- Environmental friendliness: The preheated engine reduces pollutant emissions during cold starts.
