![]() One big difference to home heaters was present though, which is that the heaters in EVs were running off the car’s battery power. The initial solution used by EV creators was a simple electric resistance heater not dissimilar to those used on a small scale at home. No combustion engine means no heat and that means the heat has to be generated in a different way. Why are electric cars different, then? The main reason of course is that an EV does not have an internal combustion engine at the helm. It’s just a matter of transferring it into the cabin where it can actually do some good. It’s easy when the engine is running and the heat is just there all the time anyway. Where does it come from? Typically, an internal combustion engine will extract heat from the engine’s cooling system to create that lovely warm cabin on a cold winter’s morning. We flip the switch and heating comes into the car. Many of us take the heating in our gasoline and diesel cars completely for granted.
