Where is the heating switch for electric vehicles?
1 Answers
To activate the heating system in an electric vehicle, simply turn off the A/C switch and adjust the heating temperature. Below is a detailed introduction to the heating system of electric vehicle air conditioning: 1. PTC Thermistor Heating System: The heating principle of the PTC thermistor heating system is similar to that of an electric heating wire, generating heat through current passing through a resistor. Due to its simple structure, low cost, and fast heating characteristics, PTC heaters are widely used in pure electric vehicles (especially in mid-to-low-end models). 2. Heat Pump Heating System: The function of a heat pump is to transfer thermal energy from a low-temperature heat source to a high-temperature heat source, with a working principle similar to that of an air conditioning refrigeration system. Compared to PTC heaters, heat pump systems have higher thermal efficiency, lower energy consumption, and relatively less impact on the vehicle's range.
