It seems like if you have any batteries inside the car then heating them would heat the inside of the car as well, 500 pounds of 60 F degree batteries sitting in the back hatch seems like a nice idea.
Unlike the rest of you, my batteries are all outside of the passenger compartment and the boxes are hard to insulate, but they do have silver mylar lining them, this looks to be factory original, I do however now have a brand new set of batteries in my car, now I just need to get a defrost heater and install it and the batteries in my Winter Beater EV.
