Isn't a bug air cooled? It doesn't have a heater core. Do you mean a modern water cooled bug. In any case, I use a tank heater and pump to circulate hot antifreeze through the original heater core. The pro is you don't have to dig into the dash, the con is there is a bit of plumbing to do.

I had to look this up on Wikipedia since a 100% efficient resistive heater is hard to beat, but I guess I didn't understand that the heat pump is getting added energy from the environment.  " Heat energy naturally transfers from warmer places to colder spaces. However, a heat pump can reverse th

If you what to get quite fancy, modern OEMs use a heat pump run with a small variable frequency drive. About 4x the efficiency of a resistive heater. No joke, and that is a serious increase in range in the winter. No doubt, you can get a Leaf compressor cheap in the bone yard. By adding the pr

Originally my S-10 Blazer conversion had a resistive heater that barely defrosted the windshield after 15 minutes of warm up. At the time I did not mind as the weather back in the 1990's only saw 1 month of frost (now with the planet heating up, not at all). A few years later when I paid to have
