My coworker has a 50 mile round trip commute. We can't charge at work and he was able to make the FFE work in the very worst of our midwest winter this year (tons of snow, <0 temps for days on end). On the worst days he would use a 12V heated blanket instead of the car's heater (its only about 55W) and he'd use a small 12V defroster on the windshield as well (again instead of the car's heater).

Here is the blanket he uses:

(My commute is only 30 miles round trip so I didn't have to use as extreme measures but it was tough..sometimes returning home with <10 miles on the guess-o-meter when I'd kick on the car's heat on the way home.)
