In a better world, the EBH and some electrical interior pre-heating could be better integrated. As you exit the vehicle the night before you simply set 7am on a screen and then plug the vehicle in. It could then determine based on block temperature and ano utdoor temperature sensor when to start heating up the vehicle to have everything ready for you at 7am. Totally green comfort and luxury as compared to remote starters.
My EBH gets the coolant temp up to about 30°C (86°F) and after that I'm just wasting electricity so it gets tough trying to figure out how long to set the timer for. That gets you thinking...
