Nobody here in Alaska has hand cranked cars 🤣, just slightly oversized starting batteries and AC powered block, coolant and/or battery heaters. You really don't need anything special when it's above 10F. Way up north, some guys run Webasto brand diesel drip heaters to keep their trucks warm.
I was planning to run the Pi on a 12V USB converter connected to the starting battery through a switch.
We'll see what happens. If it breaks, I'm only out $60.
