We have started the winterization project of our 2011 Citroën C-Zero.
I've purchased a set of Calix parts which includes a vehicle inlet, cabin outlet and a electric heater to pre-heat the heating liquid:
Inlet: http://www.motonet.fi/fi/tuote/454977/Calix-Mini-johtosarja-MKMS1525-1525m
Oulet: http://www.motonet.fi/fi/tuote/454965/Calix-Mini-haaroitussarja-GL25-1015m
Heater: http://www.calix.se/files/3375fc45fe51a55144a2d461cdf37762.pdf/CVH19_EN.pdf
I haven't installed the Calix stuff yet, but I already have an electric cabin heater installed in the back:

Traditionally these have been installed in the front passanger footwell, but I thought I'd try something different this time. I haven't yet decided whether to have the inlet in the front, where it usually is, or in the back, with the charging ports.
The heater is one of these Defa units with selectable 0/700/1200 W output:

I will also be adding a Webasto or similar liquid burning heater for the longer trips. I'll most likely use domestic bioethanol made using biowaste. More on that later. I will also update with pics as the installation proceeds.
