Originally my S-10 Blazer conversion had a resistive heater that barely defrosted the windshield after 15 minutes of warm up. At the time I did not mind as the weather back in the 1990's only saw 1 month of frost (now with the planet heating up, not at all).
A few years later when I paid to have some other upgrades done, I had that wimpy heater replaced with a more powerful RUSSCO heater that used the original (hot water from the ice) heater-core (it drew 25A off my 120VDC pack). I did that for a couple of reasons, but mainly to reduce the complaints from the gal I was dating (I was warm, I had enough clothes on, etc.). That heater worked like a champ and I had heat quicker than she could complain. I doubt you could still get a RUSSCO heater, but there are other heater solutions. I found a few links links for you to explore: http://www.canev.com/heater.php http://www.metricmind.com/category/ev-fluid-heaters/ I hope others will reply with what they use.
