My parents electric VW Golf has heated seats from the factory, same with my bosses car and I kind of like them when it's cold out, I've been thinking about getting a slip over heated seat cover but I really like the idea of having it hidden under the stock covering.

I've started using a 1,200 watt space heater in my electric car, turning it on before I start scraping the windows and it warms it up a bit but that 5 minutes is not enough! There are a few nice timers that the time is kept by a battery so it doesn't matter if the timer is plugged in or not, at that point my plan is to have the heater on the same plug as the charger, by morning the batteries are fully charged and the timer is off so having the heater click on isn't going to trip the breaker and the timer stays in the car connected to the heater.
