When you own an electric car, you’re usually afraid that the battery will die. In fact, this fear is so common that it even has a name: excitement range. So much so that it even dissuades many drivers from choosing a zero-emission model, even if they would be quite useful. Moreover, the infrastructure of charging stations is now well developed, especially in France. Therefore, there is no longer any need to fear that there will not be enough autonomy to reach the destination. But still, many have not calmed down yet.
There is one exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

A clever invention
But now a group of researchers from Shanghai University had an idea: create a special cover, which allows electric cars to avoid cold and heat. This reduces the risk of battery discharge, as autonomy increases. as? Maintaining the optimal temperature of the car regardless of weather conditions. Because for normal operation, the battery should be around 25 degrees, both for charging and for driving. So when the car is at the right temperature when starting, it uses less energy. And you no longer need to install air conditioning or heating.
Concentration of technologies
However, we know that these elements are growing significantly electric vehicle consumption. But how does this coverage work? In fact, everything is very simple. Indeed, it consists of external fibers that are responsible for the return of sunlight. That is why she is white. The second layer is made of aluminum, which is known for its insulating properties. Without the cover, the driving position reached 50 degrees, while with it it was about 27 degrees cooler depending on the conditions during testing.
