The demand for electric vehicles continues to grow but their successful uptake is hampered by how far they can travel before being recharged. EU-funded researchers developed an innovative climate control system (CCS) that extends the range of electric vehicles while enhancing passenger comfort.
At present a substantial amount of energy is required to run the CCS within electric vehicles, creating a major drain on the battery and limiting the range of the car. The EU-funded Horizon2020 XERIC project addressed this challenge by producing an energy-friendly CCS capable of ensuring passenger comfort and increasing the range of electric vehicles.
