Ok. I need my car for winter at very short notice. (seconds)
Therefore an iced windscreen is a big problem.
Is there an option of a second battery, a solar panel and a small 12v heater?
I don't want to be tethered to the mains our have anything to unplug.
Any thoughts anyone?
Cheers

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Get one of those ice covers for the windscreen, just lift it off and drive away.
Solar panels don't work in the winter.

Wind turbine it is then
I have an insulated sheet I use but if it trains then freezes its a mare.
I have solar on the house and yes its not as good as in the summer it still works to some degree. The heater would only need to luck in at freezing temps then off again and the battery would get some charge on the way to work.
