Neither of my electric cars have heaters in them right now so I park them in the winter, but when you have an electric motor that draws 6,000 to 20,000 watts running a 1,000 watt heater is not a big deal if your batteries are in good shape, but all the more reason to get heated seat covers, 75 watts to keep you warm, instead of 1,000 watts to heat the air in the car with hopes that some of that heat will get to you.
