Hey #WeirdCarMastodon

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

@DenOfEarth I think heated windshield is a Nordic countries option on a bunch of cars, but not so common elsewhere. I think my 2004 Californian Subaru had one though.
