...an *added* coil would introduce additional DC-resistance which would consume even MORE power.

...you cannot "step-up" DC-voltage, as from a car battery, using a coil.

...you need either AC-voltage and a transformer, or a "switching" coil-capacitor (LC) network and circuitry (like switching power supplies).
