GM's brand-new heat pump patent can recover energy, enhance power and increase battery life.

General Motors has developed and applied for a brand-new heat pump patent, which can recover energy from batteries, provide power for heating and acceleration, and increase cruising range.

The data show that the platform can recover and store these residual heat from the battery and power system, and also capture and utilize the heat inside and outside the car.

In addition, the energy recovery system reduces the battery supply for heating and power, and provides an additional cruising range of 10%; The heat pump system can also heat the battery before charging, thus improving the charging efficiency.

As a reference, Ultron's energy recovery involves 1 1 patent, and its development can be traced back to GM's first pure electric vehicle EV 1. At present, all Autoenergy platform models can use Autoenergy recovery, and it is planned to be used in future Autoenergy vehicles.
