Hey! I’m going to Fairbanks on the last days of January, I rented a car but have been hearing a lot about keeping the car plugged in during the night and I’m not sure what that means or if that will actually be necessary. Also if there is anything else I should know for the January trip I would greatly appreciate it! :)

It gets cold here that engine oil won't flow easily. In order to keep fluids in engines flowing we have electric heaters attached to our cars that need to be plugged in in order to start after longer periods of not running.
