Small element powered by battery to heat engine oil or engine coolant. These are widely available in plug-in models.
Like coolant in the Toyota Prius, use an insulated canister that traps the heat. This can be integrated with a smaller heating device and integrated with electric coolant circulator. Heating considerable energy, so capacitor storage may be appropriate, if this would be worthwhile for the heat generated.
Like coolant in the Toyota Prius, use an insulated canister that traps engine oil heat. Could be very useful in vehicles with electric engine oil pump.
This would be useful in very cold climates to help engine starting.
