A closer look at why heat pumps are dominating EV HVAC systems

Charged EVs

In an EV, while using the HVAC won’t detract from the maximum output of the traction motor, it does still demand energy from the battery, so there will be a hit to range. Furthermore, the heating system exacts no penalty on range for the ICE vehicle, but definitely increases energy consumption in an EV.

Audi highlights its range of electrification efforts; Q7 diesel PHEV, A7 fuel cell PHEV, BEV, 48V and more; 750 Wh/l by 2025

Green Car Congress

Audi presented a range of its ongoing work on electromobility and efficiency—from fuels and systems to full vehicles—under the “Future Performance Days 2015” banner. The current 12-volt electrical system and, above all, the new 48-volt system offer many ways of making driving even sportier, more comfortable and more efficient.

JCESR team identifies new mechanism hampering Mg-ion batteries; unforeseen reactivity

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable magnesium batteries are of great interest as potential “beyond Li-ion” systems for extended electric vehicle range. This wastes electrolyte, drying out the battery over time. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ). Earlier post.)
