Best strategy for heating cabin while at rest stop

Would it be so hard for Ford to implement a Camping mode? All it would do is do what you guys have figured out.

Car definitively needs an all-screens / all-lights off switch. Skywatching or Christmas lights sight seeing sucks with giant shining screens in your face.

If you are running the heat, the car has to be in the ON setting, which means the HV battery is connected, running the heat and other accessories, and charging the 12V battery. How long you can do this depends on SOC, heat setting, outside temp, etc., but the heater in your model draws a max of 5KW, so you can divide that into remaining HV battery charge to get an idea.

If you meant 120V NEMA charger, you should be able to run heat on "shore" power indefinitely if the charger can supply at least 5KW.

I meant 220V. Thanks for the reply
