Using it to heat the car in a way improves the fuel efficiency

Normally, yes, but in this case it's being used purely for heat, with probably 10% efficiency, where the EV is operating at 300% efficiency so no, definitely not.

You can have the engine on and not driving and your petrol will last quite long, not so much with an EV, unfortunately.

As I mentioned elsewhere, it will last several days.
