Ever drive a car with no heated air blowingon the windshield???
it don't work, the moisture in your breath condenses and freezes on the glass. I know reisistanc eheat is ineffiecient, It would be for mostly emergency use to keep the glass clear. Heated seats would be in the plans.
 I'd also consider a preheater that could be turned on say in the mornings while the car is plugged in to warm the interior. That would last most of my trip to work. It would beneat if you could capture brake heat to warm the cars interior, but that maybe a little to dirty and unsafe to work. A jacket around the drive motor may also work It would probably have to be removeable for summer driving though.
