which was used on delivery routes in different seasons and in a variety of weather conditions . All the surfaces radiating heat toward the driver and the passenger proved to be effective in keeping them warm.

This small percentage could make a great difference on a long-term basis, potentially adding hundreds of extra miles every year.
While the heated interior panels are not offered in any production vehicles at the moment, the automaker suggested that findings from the heat management testing have fed into the development of future vehicles. Other range-extending opportunities identified by Ford are eco-routing, cooling system modifications, and powertrain conditioning.
The research was part of the European Commission’s Connected Electric Vehicle Optimized for Life, Value, Efficiency and Range project which run between 2018 and 2022.
