Well now wait a sec. If your intent is to heat the whole passenger
compartment up to a nice toasty temperature, you're right. But if all
you want to do is warm you up, low power electric heaters can work quite
well. I run a special low power heated vest and chaps on my motorcycle
when I decide to go riding all over gods creation in the bitter cold and
snow. Keeps me quite warm, without running down my electrics, which on
a motorcycle aren't exactly large.
So, will a little ole electric heater sitting way over there on the dash
do much for you? No. But drop that little ole electric heater down
your shirt and it just might.
