   I bought a new (to me) car, a 2018 BMW i3. It's electric, with a range   
   extender (a small 650cc gas engine that charges the battery when   
   needed). It's a perfect little city car for me, as I work from home and   
   mostly run errands around town. We have a 3rd row SUV for snow trips and   
   larger groups.   
      
   In the charging menu, you tell it when you leave in the morning, and it   
   makes sure you're fully charged by then. It has an option marked   
   "climate control", when checked, it make sure the interior is at the   
   temperature you set when your departure time comes.   
      
   If only it could turn on the seat warmers, too.   :)
