according to fast technology on august 28, hyundai motor and kia motors are actively developing more energy-efficient vehicle cabin heating and cooling solutions to improve the energy efficiency and range of electric vehicles.

in a demonstration, the company showed an innovative radiant heating system thatthe system works by directly heating the human body to keep it warm, rather than heating the air throughout the cabin, significantly reducing energy consumption.

this radiant heating technology delivers warm air directly to the passenger's legs through heating elements, quickly warming the lower body in just 3 minutes while consuming less energy.

the heating element is designed to reach a maximum temperature of 110 degrees celsius, but for safety, it is equipped with an anti-scalding system that automatically lowers the temperature once body contact is detected.

kia installed nine panels with these heating elements on an ev9 electric suv, covering the bottom of the steering wheel, door panels, center console and bottom of the glove box to demonstrate the practical application of this technology.

also,kia also unveiled a new 48-volt heated glass technology that can defrost in just five minutes at extremely low temperatures, such as -18 degrees celsius.the speed is four times that of traditional air conditioners, and it saves about 10% energy than ordinary air conditioners.

this special metal coating on the glass not only conducts heat, but also blocks solar radiation in hot weather, effectively reducing the temperature inside the vehicle.

hyundai kia also demonstrated its heat shield film technology again, which is a special film.it blocks external heat from entering the car while allowing the heat inside the car to dissipate.

these innovations are expected to be applied to all types of vehicles, not only improving ride comfort but also reducing energy consumption, which is particularly important for electric vehicles because they lack the heat generated by internal combustion engines.

however, some netizens said that this is just turning the traditional air conditioner into an electric blanket for the entire car. what is the difference between it and seat heating?
