But how do you heat an electric car? Not much fun using a totally unheated
behicle in the winter. Even keeping the screens clear becomes a bit of a
problem.

Some earlier electric cars had petrol burners to warm the interior. Is
that included in the fuel efficiency claimed?

There is zero insulation in a car. Insulation can be bonded onto the car
panels. Herat can be reclaimed from the electric motor too.

In sunnier climes PV cells can be the whole roof of the car.
