In battery-driven powertrains, heating and cooling can play a significantly greater role than in gasoline or diesel engines, since without a combustion engine, the vehicle does not have a generous supply of heat. Conventional heaters used in hybrids and electric vehicles are only half as effective, Bosch said. Earlier post.).
