increases the vehicle ranges. It optimizes the cooling of the drivetrain, battery, and interior through a joint water-glycol circuit. This means that the refrigerant system is primarily used to cool and heat the water-glycol circuit. It uses natural and environmentally friendly refrigerants such as propane or CO2 to completely avoid PFAS chemicals. This system also uses intelligent and needs-based distribution and a flexible heat pump to ensure e...
