I think he meant that. Anyway 1500 W would heat the air way too much, and I cannot pull that from the battery.
I know the eWAI would be less effective than block heating, but it is a 'no strings attached' solution; it would work anywhere.
While it does put additional load on the system it uses way less energy than a block heater would, because it only has to run for a few minutes before the engine parts are warm enough to heat the intake air by themselves.
