Heat pump technology is normally used in domestic properties to heat the rooms and water. The same technology is employed in some electric cars in order to capture waste heat which is then used to heat the cabin (cabin cooling is also possible in summer). This means less energy is drawn from the battery to heat or cool the cabin, resulting in more range. Heat pumps come as standard or as an option on several EVs including the Tesla Model 3, Model S and Model X, Nissan Leaf, Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Mercedes EQC, EQA and EQS, BMW iX, i4 and iX3.
