If the system already has a battery heater in it then maybe it could be ran from the wall outlet whilst in the garage.
Get the batteries up to a decent temperature without using any of the battery capacity.

The closest to this I have come is to have the charge timer set so the batteries are fully charged until just before I need to depart, trouble is you really need the car to idle about a half hour before departing without draining the battery to get the battery heated up, this is only really possible on 220v
In terms of insulation there is only room to do it up on top of the battery, to the sides is a person (me)
Ah well, my volt is in the shop because I finally hit a deer
