Get a 12v hairdryer from a camping shop (Or online if your young)

Many a Land Rover has passed my door, I am still soaking up the oil they left.

I just repeatedly throw hot ( not boiling) water over windscreen from a big  plastic bottle before driving off  when its frosty..clears the inside mist too...( I wouldn't advise doing this on a modern car of any kind tho...)

Did you got an alternator or an Dynamo

with Dynamo: not much electric Output for heated Screens
                      with frontlight and
                      wipers on

My youngest lad showed me a better version... Run some hot tap-water into a reasonably strong plastic bag. Scrunch it up to make a handle and a "ball" of hot water. Rub over windscreen. A lot less mess and keeps your hands warm.

Technology has moved on, so why not take advantage   ???

Though I have seen a 12v demister, which was basically a coil of wire in a case about 18" long, which would have been placed on top of the dashboard and wired in to clear the screen. Pretty sure that dates back to the 1960s.
