Yes, have that covered. Block heater is standard on all vehicles sold up here. Vehicle will be garaged overnight too. Never realized until reading here that still plugging it in would improve mileage. I can't believe that block heaters aren't standard for you folks in Northern States. Based on what I've read a battery blanket/warmer would seem a very useful option too. We have them as factory options for the regular battery from many vehicle manufacturers such as VW, Subaru, Hyundai. Is there a reason this isn't offered for the big battery?
