EV's need direct heating windshield defrosters, like Ford and others had in the 1980's: a molecule thick coating of gold on the glass that defrosts it in seconds.

10 or so years ago a UK VW magazine had adverts for Beetle windshields of this material. I think even flat safety glass is laminated from two pre-cut pieces of glass with the laminate layer trimmed after the fact. I wish I was wrong. I could have electric glass to boost the puny defrosters in my split window VW.
