well that explains thier absense in availibility....you definately know that one size does not fit all....all the more reason to keep a tip top battery adn make sure everything is in adjustment....

or you can get a small portible generator...find a manner to premanently attach a heavy chain to and an hour or two before its time ot go home take it out of trunk..fire it up chain it to the tiedown loop these cars have and plug in the block heater...works in fairly safe areas.....not if you park in high crime zones however.
