Issue defogging front windscreen

[philwhitehead]

Just interested how people find the defogging. I hit the physical button, which sets the fan to 100%, but it's extremely ineffective on cold damp days.

What have others experience been?
Does yours clear ok?
Anyone have any settings to help it, e.g. temp, fan speed, recirculate etc?

Trying to gauge if it's just our car and maybe it's something with the AC.

Yes, had a similar experience. I think this is partly an inherent problem with EV's not having a lot of engine heat to use with the AC, needed to generate the dry warm air to defog.
Cranking up the heat before seems to help, but also creates more fog before being effective.

Indeed, it is a problem that I already encountered on the first night drive when I unsuccessfully poked around the climate settings. The windows fogged up catastrophically. Panic reduction of speed and wiping the windows with hands and rags did not have much effect. And only pressing the “Ⓒ Windscreen defrost button” key helps.

yes had the same problem as the heater does not work for about 5 minutes so blows cold air until then so bought a cheap dehumidifier for £8.95 that sticks to the front of dash, no problems with misting up since fitted
