This was addressed earlier but it bears repeating. Those nice 110v ceramic heaters crank out 1500watts of heat, equivalent to, i think, 5200 BTU. To achieve the same heat output at 12v would require, in terms of amperage, 1500watt/12v= 125amps. That's ALOT of juice folks. Electric heaters from a 12v system are not practical in an automobile context. sorry to burst the proverbial bubble...
