With the introduction of electromobility, the issues of air conditioning and climate comfort are becoming massively more important. This is because unlike the combustion engine, which can always provide sufficient waste heat for heating and operates all electrical consumers in the interior via the generator, the driver of an e-car pays dearly for any heating or cooling power required with potential range.
