GM will use the technology to collect low-level waste heat and use it in important ways, allowing their EVs to accelerate faster, charge faster, and go further. An automotive-grade heat pump absorbs and recoups waste heat in the vehicle system. But that’s a bit wasteful, and it’s not what electric cars are all about.

Audi introduced the battery-electric Audi A3 e-tron US pilot program at TED2012 in Long Beach, California. This marks Audi’s first foray into the rapidly developing US electric vehicle landscape. Water flows around the 30 modules which constitute this battery; the waste heat is utilized to heat the vehicle’s interior.
