Since EVs drain more battery heating the cabin in winter but still need to keep the windows defrosted, how about defrost wires on the windshield, just like the rear window? Even the side windows?
Would that not be more electrically efficient?
Has it been done before?
Discuss!
Source: I keep seeing "tips" on maximising range by using the seat heaters instead of cabin HVAC. That works for about two minutes until the windows are fogged up. Not an option

Good Morning #Canada
I'm heading out for an early appointment in Barrie and checking the weather to see if I'll have any challenges during my 25 minute travel time. I'll have to navigate through some snow - duh... it's Barrie - but poorly salted roads is also an issue. Ontario is facing a shortage of road salt due to an early onset of winter, higher than normal ice days early in the season and some supply chain issues with suppliers. Currently municipalities are trying to stretch their dwindling supply and mixing in more sand. That additional use of sand will result in higher cleaning costs in the spring but right now it's their only option. Suppliers believe that they'll solve the shortage problem in the next month but for now, get used to a bit more snow on your roads.

An early winter and more extreme weather have made road salt a hot commodity, with the early winter and harsher weather creating shortages, and many cities and communities adjusting their approach to de-icing roads and sidewalks. The worldβs largest underground salt mine, which is in Goderich, Ont., says it's working round the clock to try to meet demand.
