“…The authors of [27] conclude that when using both seat heating and foot heating, the cabin temperature can be reduced by up to 6 • C while achieving the same thermal comfort. The study [28] uses Infrared Heating Panels (IRPs) instead of seat heating or foot heating to achieve a similar effect like the previous two studies. The authors analyze the thermal comfort by combining conventional HVAC with radiation heating.…”

This study presents a practical design and implementation of a Thermal Management (TM) concept for Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEVs) including a novel Human-Machine Interface (HMI). The developed system uses a combination of convective air conditioning and radiation heating to cool down and heat up the passengers efficiently. The proposed contribution can be subdivided into four parts: 1) description of the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system; 2) development of a novel HMI; 3) derivation of an appropriate operating strategy concept; 4) validation of the entire TM system based on a user study using a demonstrator vehicle. The results show that the developed TM concept can substantially support the user to operate the HVAC system more efficiently. A user study was conducted to evaluate passenger comfort and usability. The study revealed that users tend to operate a conventional input panel of an HVAC system inefficiently in some cases. They could achieve better task performance with the new HMI proposed in this study. However, the acceptance of the new concept was rated lower for the new system, as users were already accustomed to the conventional input panel design.

“…[11] Since their formation is flexible and thin, it is convenient to attach them to the surface of the vehicle's interior (e.g., headliner, door cover, rings, etc.). [12] Typically, metal alloys (e.g., nichrome, Kanthal) are used Amid the rapid development of electric vehicles, a flexible and waterproof radiant heater that can withstand repeated bending and washing is highly desirable. Herein, a freestanding, ultra-flexible, and washable joule heater is constructed using a biocompatible poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) (SIBS) polymer as binder and carbon black (CB) as heating material.…”

[ 12 ] Typically, metal alloys (e.g., nichrome, Kanthal) are used as electrothermal materials. However, they exhibit major shortcomings such as high heavyweight, and low infrared radiation characteristics, [ 8 ] which restrict their potential applications.…”
