How about chemicals for de-icing ? I can usually get the front and front-side windows done with a de-icer spray and scraper before setting off, or a warm (note not boiling) kettle or maybe even a jug of warm tap water to shift the ice and then wipers to remove water to stop it freezing ?

I'm nervous about the warm water / kettle approach though because of windscreen cracking due to the heat so I now park George nose up under our car-port - nose to nose with the Prius. Our central heating boiler was moved a while ago from under there to the front of the house but it still seems to stay above freezing even down to -6 Deg C.
