For defrost, what about cover the inside surface of the windshield with a thin layer of transparent conductive material and use that as a heating element? Maybe even use double layer glass to reduce power requirements? Probably not practical for DIY but should work nicely for production. For personal heating, what about heated seats and heated steering wheel?
