How We Drive a Car at -50°C (-58°F) | Yakutia, Siberia

Driving a car in the coldest inhabited place on Earth - is a daunting task. With temperatures dropping as low as -70°C, an unprotected car freezes within minutes.

I grew up in the Canadian Arctic. -40 to -50 happened regularly. The Land of the Midnight Sun in summer is also the land of no sun, in winter. Everybody had plug in electric engine heaters. In fact, they are standard equipment for almost every car sold in Canada. They will warm the engine enough to start down to -50 if the front of the car is covered. Problem is, with that kind of cold, stuff just breaks. I have been stranded by vehicles in colder than -40 a few time. It isn't fun. Thanks for sharing. Those guys are real troopers.

Also from the Canadian Arctic. We almost always have our cars inside with a block heater, except for some rare cases. My car never has the room to fit inside, so when it's -50, I just start it. Never had a problem, and the car is 31! Let's hope it stays that way haha

I have driven just like that, scraping the windows while I drive.

I used to sell Caterpillar gear and they often had to run multiple lines of power out to the panel that supplied all the heaters for a big machine. On a three-shift operation it's easier - the loaders and trucks only come in to the shop for oil changes and are working (warm) the rest of the time. They had one spot, wired with big power, where one unit could be fully plugged in if necessary. Start with multiple engine block heaters, add a circulating heater for rad, and another one for each type of oil, hydraulic and steering and two for the transmission - I think I remember nine different, full power heaters on one big Cat Loader. That's a lot of amps - a house sized power panel to feed it.

In northern Alaska where it usually gets colder (-40 to -50C) they do the same for their vehicles, where they cover up the front grill for insulation. Normally, if you have a diesel powerplant, which is popular there, they have plug in electric heaters to help keep the engine warm or just let them run. If you have a gasoline powerplant, it works quite well in low temperatures, especially fuels containing ethanol (usually 10%), the ethanol works as an antifreeze. However, in some cases you'll be better off using additives in gasoline in very low temperatures, just like with diesel fuel.

I loved the video! I'm visiting Fairbanks, Alaska right now for 2 weeks at my Dad's place (And hope to live here soon or later), and in the winter, temperatures that are below -25°F or -30°F will require vehicles to be heated before turning on the engine. Otherwise it won't start! Vehicles here come equipped with a plug at the engine, and you just plug it into an outlet to keep your car engine from freezing! You can have the car turned off in the process. These power outlets are found in a lot of parking lots, and if you're home and have a garage, I'd suggest the garage, and if not the garage, plug it in to an outlet outside! It is important to have tools, snow/ice tires on your vehicle, and a source of warmth in case of emergencies!

[@jared4670]

Be careful with those plugs. Loads of cars catch on fire in Russia because of them during winter. Either they are incorrectly installed or they are not monitored. The safest method is using the heat gun like these chaps in the video. It's used the most here in Russia.

While this may not seem like high mountain living, we also have the World's largest deposit of fresh water nearby. They are called the Great Lakes and are only about 30 miles farther north. In the winter it can be -0-degree Fahrenheit for a week or more, and once for three days it was minus 25 degrees. We have high winds and some winters lots of snow. The lowest low-pressure zone ever recorded from a storm was not in a hurricane in the Gulf or Tropics, but during a winter storm in a town called Cleveland Ohio, which is on Lake Erie. There was no place to move the snow. My mom said that us kids were sled riding from the roof of our home. Every year in Sept and October I budget new tires, filters, and fluids for each of our vehicles. We have only Awd and 4wd vehicles in out household. Some winters we also put on the studded traction tires, which in the state of Ohio you are allowed to use steel studded tires on the highway during the period extending from the first day of November of each year through the fifteenth day of April of the succeeding year.

In Alberta, Canada we sometimes put a cardboard sheet over the radiator to reduce excessive cooling of the engine. And all vehicles come with a plug-in engine block heater to keep the oil liquid. I installed a heated battery wrap as well. That problem with interior windshield fogging/frosting happens to me whenever the temperatures drops below -30°C, but the windshield defroster is usually enough to keep it clear once the engine is warm. I'm sure the auto manufacturers never build anything with -50°C in mind, so good job with the smart modifications to keep the vehicle safely driveable.
