Electric Vehicle Heat Pump Systems Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Demand for Energy-Efficient Heating Systems to Expand Driving Range

Popular electric vehicles (EVs) largely use lithium-ion batteries to power their electric motors. These types of batteries have an ideal operating temperature range that appears to be anywhere between 50°F and 110°F, with a few publishers agreeing on an optimal temperature range of 70°F. At subzero temperatures, lithium-ion batteries do not store energy appropriately, resulting in poor performance. The range of a few electric vehicles drops from a manageable 10% to ~36% in freezing weather. This loss of range is not solely due to the lithium-ion batteries but also depends on the utilization of stored energy. Further, the amount of energy extracted from batteries to heat a resistor and then blow air through it to keep the interior of the vehicle warm resulted in the deterioration of the battery. Hence, the heat pumps are important in providing heating to the battery. Heat pumps warm the interior of the car more efficiently than simply drawing energy from the batteries. Heat pump systems are not range extenders in themselves but rather a tool that allows electric vehicles to be more efficient and not lose as many ranges in subzero temperatures.

Key Strategic Developments in EV Heat Pump Systems

The increasing adoption of heat pump systems in electric vehicles is owing to associated benefits, including high performance, great efficiency, wide battery range, and low charging time, among others. Such a rise in the adoption of heat pump systems paves the way for the key companies operating in the EV heat pump systems market to expand their product offerings and presence worldwide. As heat pumps become a crucial part of electric vehicles, their role in the HVAC industry will gain traction, creating an opportunity to improve the mileage of electric vehicles. The HVAC business value chain for electric vehicles is closely related to the automotive industry, thermal management components, and refrigerants, among others. In addition, the rise in research & development initiatives toward the development of effective thermal management systems through partnerships, collaboration, and joint ventures is expected to create opportunities for the key companies operating in the EV heat pump systems market during the forecast period. A few of the key strategic initiatives or developments in the electric vehicle heat pump systems market are mentioned below:

• In May 2023, Hanon Systems Corp., a South Korean thermal management system provider, announced its plan to invest US$ 40 million to establish a heat pump systems plant in Georgia, the US; the plant is expected to start production by 2024.
