So how would a frozen car become warmer with a blanket, unless some subsystem within it is emitting energy?
But even once the car is stationary, a blanket would help it retain the heat generated while driving, or generated from charging now that it's plugged in.
Probably a reference to the well established practice of using block heaters[0] on diesel engines in cold climates... which AIUI are effectively just electric blankets. It's why you'll often see what appears to be a short extension cord dangling out the front of a big old truck where it snows a lot.
Obviously on an EV you already have much of the parts necessary to generate the heat, esp. if plugged in to charge... so it could just need the blanket/insulation part.
