I haven't heard of it being mentioned before. Its an interesting and IMO good idea. The only problem is implimenting it in a reasonable and usable manner.

Also, for hybrids its recommended you use your AC to cool the battery if the car has been sitting in the heat. Most battery failures come from overheating.
