  of the Air Con switch. Is this the alarm? Won't the flashing light drain the battery eventually? 2) I am not a fan of alarm systems and don't need to use one. If I use normal manual key lock entry, is the alarm system not activated? If not, how do I switch NATS off? 3) Compared to my previous car, a 1995

• N/A - Electic only cars 9 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  Thought provoking letter in the Daily Mail.  What happens if you are stuck in a blizzard for hours in your limited range EV. Presumably you will very quickly run out of battery for drive and heat.  At least with conventional fuel that would not be the case unless you were stupid
