To heat the leading edge of the wing electricly you would need a power station, I have yet to see a light aircraft that can lift one of these.
Me either but I've seen plenty of cars with very fine heating elements built into the windscreens which can clear a windscreen of a heavy frost in no time at all - and they don't carry power stations round with them?
