The Kia Soul EV has a setting on the HVAC system to direct the air coming from the fan, hot or cold, to the driver only. My wife has one of these and I get to drive it once a month or so. ☺ This HVAC function allows the car to use less energy on heating/cooling the whole car when the car is driven without any passengers.
Inspired by this I was thinking if could modify my C-Zero in the same way of some kind. One day driving to work I had the air direction know towards the floor. Leaning down on the passenger side I felt much nice hot air coming out of the passenger floor outlet. I decided to try to block this outlet. This would force the air out of the other vents, such as the drivers floor outlet or up to the windows.
I took a steel plate and made this:
Fitted in the car:
After testing it for a few days I find that it is working good. So will keep it. But as I sometimes has passengers in the car I would like to fit an hinge to the plate so that it be lifted up letting air trough.
