Dolphin steaming up constantly

So I have an electric van and can just have the blower on no ac and it doesn't steam up however we recently got a dolphin and its constantly steaming up, today for example is 10degrees c and I need it on constantly Any ideas? Thanks

You got the AC on? If it's fine when it's on, but steams up when it's off that's just cars in winter.

Yeah its fine when its on just abit weird as with my electric van I don't have to have the ac on just the blower. It's a shame as obviously the ac effects the range. Although we don't do many miles to be fair so I suppose its not really an issue. I did just notice on the ac settings though it was set on eco, I've changed it to comfort and it does make the cabin lot warmer so this may help 😀

Gonna guess it's probably because a much smaller space in the car so it gets steamed up easily. Could also lower the windows a tiny bit and whack the blower on, but in guessing the range hit will be higher than with AC.

Yeah quite possibly, see how it goes now its not in eco for the ac that should help fingers crossed

I have the exact same issue with my Dolphin Surf. During the cold january and even now when its 11\* outside. I tried with open windows, max heat, defrost. It only works for a small given time when i use 3-6 power, with the defroster on. Soon as i turn it off, or down its all foggy again..

And its set to use fresh air from outside? My Dolphin did default to resirculation when I got it, both in the car and the app. Changed both to be using fresh air from outside, and I can now put a wet dog into it and do some shoping and it will not fog up as long as I starts the AC with the app.

Same here. In winter, I don't even bother to turn off the AC. It's set to minimum and just the windshield. I had several cars before (have also an ICE Peugeot 308 SW) but the dolphin is in another league of windshield fogginess... As for energy consumption, I didn't notice an increase but I have the AC set to "Eco mode", not comfort.

Yeah use of fresh air outside.going to try with this new setting i found for the ac not being on eco though so hopefully that may help!
