Fast Technology reported on August 28 that Hyundai Motors and Kia Motors are actively developing more energy-efficient vehicle cabin heating and cooling solutions to improve the energy efficiency and cruising range of electric vehicles.
, during the demonstration, the company demonstrated an innovative radiant heating system that keeps it warm by heating the human body directly, rather than heating the air throughout the cabin, significantly reducing energy consumption.
, This radiant heating technology delivers warm air directly to the passenger’s legs through heating elements, quickly warming the lower body in just 3 minutes while consuming less energy.
The heating element is designed to reach a maximum temperature of 110 degrees Celsius, but for safety, it is equipped with an anti-burn system that will automatically lower the temperature once body contact is detected.
, 
, Kia installed nine panels with such heating elements on an EV9 electric SUV, covering the bottom of the steering wheel, door panels, center console and the bottom of the glove box to demonstrate the practical application of this technology.
, In addition, Kia has also released a new 48-volt heated glass technology, which can defrost at extremely low temperatures, such as minus 18 degrees Celsius, in just 5 minutes.
The speed is four times that of traditional air conditioners and energy saving than ordinary air conditioners.
About 10%.
The special metal coating on this glass not only conducts heat, but also blocks solar radiation in hot weather, effectively reducing the temperature inside the car.
, Hyundai Kia also once again demonstrated its thermal insulation film technology, a special film that blocks external heat from entering the car while allowing the heat inside the car to escape.
These innovative technologies are expected to be applied to all types of vehicles, not only improving riding comfort, but also reducing energy consumption, and are particularly important for electric vehicles because they lack the heat generated by internal combustion engines.
, However, some netizens said that isn’t this turning the traditional air conditioner into an all-car electric blanket? What’s the difference between it and seat heating?
