I think there are still some reasonable solutions:
* smaller resistive heaters with higher airflow
* dump the heat into resistively heating the battery. Then use the battery again!
* Just use disk brakes to achieve the same feel. Which is also, basically, dumping heat.
Remember that the problem to solve is that a car shouldn't drive differently at different temperatures...
- therein 8y agoNow where could one get this said airflow in a vehicle moving through a medium that is commonly referred to as air? :) Heating up the battery with this airflow for a certain amount of time should warm them up relatively quickly and evenly since done via convection too. Now I genuinely wonder if there is a reason why Tesla didn't go with that.
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoFor something that generates a lot of heat when bringing the car (and air!) velocity towards zero, you really need to have forced air cooling available.
