How to remove snow and ice from your electric car windscreen in just minutes 

The experts revealed that by pre-conditioning their cars, UK drivers could save themselves up to 15 hours a year clearing their windscreens.

This involves motorists planning their departure in advance and using this feature to heat up the vehicle cabin to the desired temperature.

Once this is achieved, it defrosts and de-mists your windows and warms the battery so it’s operating at peak performance.

Of the hack, the experts said: “Not only does pre-conditioning an electric vehicle save time, it also stops drivers from making common mistakes when attempting to defrost their car in a hurry.

Time-saving mistakes like using boiling water to clear ice and snow risks cracking the glass and using wiper blades to clear the windscreen only damages them when they’re frozen.”

This is because the hack saves drivers time, allowing them to safely and quickly remove any snow and ice from their electric vehicles.

Drivers are often fined for having snow on their windscreen and roof while driving in what is known as ‘portholing’.
