How do you heat an electric car in the winter? A paraffin or propane

Electricity would seem to be a sensible choice. We don't after all use
electric heaters to heat petrol cars in winter do we?

My point was that there's no, or very little, "waste" heat from an electric
motor, so you're going to need an extra KW or two to heat the car, which
will reduce the range quite a bit if the heater runs off the main battery.
