Drivel. As usual you are "expert" on something you have zero
knowledge and experience of.

Its simple arithmetic harry. 13A @ 240V for 8H is ~25kWh - about
the
same energy content as that contained in 5L of petrol.

As the efficiency of electric cars is around six times that of
ICE,.....= six liters of petrol.
Plus regeneration = yet more.

And the efficiency when you stick the heater on in winter?

As you should know electric heaters are 100% efficient.
It depends on whether it has a heat pump or a resistance heater.
I just put a fan heater in the car for 15 minutes before I set off.
Also it has heated seats which are all that's necessary in Winter.

Is that needed? I thought you could turn on the car heating using a
mobile phone app while the vehicle is still plugged into the 'shore'
supply.

You can. There is a transmitter on the keyring. But it increases the
charge time.

My sister in law does it after the car is charged and before setting
off for work so there is no effect on charge time.

Of course there is.

Wrong, as always.

She has to have it plugged in while it's heating or the battery would
deplete.

But most have enough of a clue to plug the car in when they get
home from work and unplug it just before they leave for work the
next day, so using the heater before leaving for work has no effect
on the charging because it stopped charging well before she turned
the heater on before leaving.
