BorgWarner has announced that it will supply its high-voltage positive temperature coefficient (PTC) cabin heating technology for an unspecified new EV model from a global automaker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BorgWarner\u2019s technology is designed to provide rapid cabin heating while making the most efficient possible use of energy in order to conserve battery power.<\/p>\n

Unlike legacy vehicles, EVs don\u2019t generate a significant source of waste heat that can be used to heat the cabin. BorgWarner\u2019s high-voltage cabin heater relies on ceramic PTC components to warm the air stream coming from the blower. It self-regulates to ensure that high-power heating is available in cold temperatures, when it is needed most. As temperatures rise and heating demand decreases, the energy level is automatically reduced.<\/p>\n

The heater offers up to 7 kW of power, provides dual-zone functionality for increased efficiency, and boasts nearly silent operation.<\/p>\n
