What he is asking is whether the batteries are heated using their own power
(which would be limited) or external power (like the block heater used to
keep gasoline engines warm using the AC mains current).

This is all true, but modern oil technology combined with fuel injection
systems have made matters a whole hell of a lot better than they were back

Alaska, you have to realize how quickly the electric technology is moving
in comparison.
