In winter the air would be warmed by electricheaters at the fan or along the ducts as needed. It hasbeen found to take much less current to heat a car in winterwhen air is blown through the heaters than with no circula-tion at all. A thorough test of electric car ventilation isurgently needed. With the suggested plenum system itwould be obviously undesirable
