Lake Afternoon Drive: Plugging in your car

89.5 the Lake Lake Afternoon Drive Logo

It’s –15, the cord’s as stiff as a hockey stick, and I’m out trying to plug in my Southern‑Ontario Yaris with its brand‑new block heater.

You’ve lived this winter life, I’m the new guy learning fast.

So tell me: What’s your number? –10, –15, –20?
Do you set a timer or leave it all night?
Have you noticed it on your power bill?
What’s your routine—first blast of winter, overnight lows, early‑morning starts?

Tell me your plug‑in rules, cord hacks, and “learned‑the‑hard‑way” stories! I’ll read the best ones on air.

And be sure to tune into the Afternoon Drive with me, Caleb, on 89.5 the Lake, weekdays 2–6 pm.
