Thermo-management has a positive effect on both the interior temperature and the range of electric vehicles. To do so, the scientist makes use of an innovative composite material that significantly reduces the high dashboard surface temperature caused by constant exposure to direct sunlight. Researchers at the Fraunhofer LBF achieved a temperature reduction of 46%. This saves on energy required for air conditioning, which in turn boosts the vehicle's range.
