Cars have had remote start for a long time. But you can’t just leave a gas car running in a closed garage. That’s a good way to accidentally take the forever nap.

Not talking about remote start but about heating the car before starting it. It's powered by electricity not gasoline. The garage has an outlet that you plug the car into.

Yeah I have actually been kind of baffled no one else mentioned these, are conventional engine heaters not a thing outside scandinavia?
