As to heating taking less power than A/C. I don't have to do the calculations, I have an EV. Heating takes roughly 3x more power than running the A/C even at 90-100F. Take a look at my fuel log. Those giant dips in the winter are from running the heat. My car has heated seats but those don't defrost / defog the windshield.

You need at least 2 phases for that to work.
With a single phase, it won't work.
