CAMP MODE- Rear bed area heat duct option

[Ranch3ro 2.0]

Not strange at all. I own 2 EVs. 1 heat pump 1 resistive.
Fast charging is the first example.
charging in winter runs the ac to cool the battery while heat runs inside. Warming batteries before charging while driving using the ac in summer Is another.

many examples exist. Some makers have even chosen to not heat or cool the batteries because the effort is too expensive. Nissan leaf comes to mind.

google Tesla octovalve or super Valve.

Hmmm. When supercharging my model y in winter, I always precondition so the battery is warm enough to accept a fast charge, while at the same time heating the cabin because it’s cold out. In the summer, my battery needs to be cooled somewhat to protect it, not preheated to accept a charge, it’s already warm enough, like me, inside the cabin. I also need cooling. I don’t see a season where my battery is cold and needs heat but I’m too hot inside and need AC.
Nissan batteries without heating and cooling elements have not fared very well. I don’t believe any current manufacturers aren’t using battery temperature regulators. But the results are in resistance heating alone without a heat pump. Significant range loss in cold weather.

Think what you want to think, but the reasons I explained are valid for current automotive heat pumps.
i welcome you to remove the additional plumbing and weight designed into your vehicle And see how it goes for you.
