Parking your car outside this winter? Tired of having cold fingers and wet knees plugging your engine block heater in the dark of the night? …that is if you remembered to connect it yesterday, or tried to leave the driveway while still plugged in and bent the prongs on the cord again.

 

VoltSafe Winter is a magnetic quick-connect smart plug that attaches in an instant and disconnects just as easily (or automatically, should you forget it’s still connected that hazy Monday morning when you’re late for work).

  • Safe: only delivers power once magnetically connected to the matching plug on the car, and instantly cuts power when disconnected
  • Magnetically attaches to a weatherproof plug that you zip-tie to your car grille
  • Lights-up when connected and powered on
  • Internal weekly scheduling feature with auto shut-off (setup or modify through mobile app)
  • Manual power toggle in the app
  • Winterproof (duh!)
  • Dummyproof (wuh?)
  • Designed in Vancouver (yay, Canadian innovation!)

I’ve been using one for the last 3 winters, paid full price, works well! I installed it on my car’s dark-coloured lower grille, so it blends in and can stay installed all year long.

Pro tip: add a water-tight cable cover if you use an extension cord, and attach some hi-visibility marking tape to the business end to rapidly find the plug in dark/snowy conditions.
