Carport for half the car

A half carport combined with a car heater that works by remote control is a good solution in winter for persons unable to scrape the windshield

Description
The space in front of the garage and entrance door is covered by a roof. It is used as a carport for a wheelchair-accessible minivan. Half the car (the front) fits under the roof.

Authors comments
A half carport and a car heater that works by remote control make a good solution for the user in winter. After 20 to 25 minutes the car is warm enough for the windows to defrost and the user not to freeze. The car also has heated side mirrors.
