I've always wondered about this. But I usually just avoid using the radio at all when I wait in the car.
So the question is. Is it okay that leave the engine running and listen to the radio while I wait for someone for 1-2 hours? --- Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan! Oaths you have taken, now fulfill them all, to lord and land! ... Copied to Clipboard!

1-2 hours? You need A/C. Or get out and about.

1-2 hours? You need A/C. Or get out and about. I'm not getting out in this corona shit. I haven't even been to mcdonalds since february You can laugh at me. But if your mom or dad or dog dies. You can be sure it's not me thats spreading the shit like everyone else. I see people at bus stops sitting close to each other like normal. No gloves, no masks. --- Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan!

You paid for the gas you can do what you want with it
Do you have battery anxiety? --- http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3475/3291766630_b434e97925.jpg 3DS: 1005-8921-6109 ... Copied to Clipboard!

You paid for the gas you can do what you want with it I do. The other car in the household completely died just from us not starting it for 3-4 weeks. And I'm not sure if the engine running at idle keeps the charge while I'm using the radio or do I actually need to be driving the car at around 2.5k-3k revs. --- Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan!

I think it's fine. I always do it. The problem is when you do it when the car isn't running. I think it drains the battery.

No im sure idling is fine, the only reason the rpms increase is to power moving 1000s of pounds of metal around
In vancouver I bet I could get a ticket for this with some sort of idling law. Usually 20 minutes of radio or so has never been an issue --- http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3475/3291766630_b434e97925.jpg 3DS: 1005-8921-6109 ... Copied to Clipboard!

But I'll still just listen to an hour then I'll just switch to using my phones speaker just in case. --- Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan!

A stationary car with the engine running is just generating a carbon monoxide island, unless there's a decent breeze going.

Is this a real topic?
If your car is running then the alternator is powering everything and charging your battery.
