Tesla Heat Pump | More Range in Cold Weather

  • Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
  • Heat Pump draws excess heat from the powertrain to maximize Supercharging speeds & driving range in cold weather. For example, your Tesla can use heat created by the battery & drive units to warm your cabin, saving energy & improving range on long drives. Heat Pump comes standard in every new Tesla.

    I am in the Northeast and I noticed the benefit of the heat pump a lot. My previous EV was ID.4 without any heatpump let alone octavalve etc. Its winter consumption was terrible. The range was decreasing half even in mild cold weathers like 23-28F. Tesla Model Y is just a beast when it cones to efficient. Yes winter does reduce range but by 10-20%. It is magical.

      ICE engines consumption also vary with outside temperature, let alone if you use the belt driven (!) air conditioning. But somehow the "range loss" is only discussed as a "problem" for electric vehicles. Maybe because an ICE car has a rough gauge for fuel, that people only care when it goes to "red", and EVs have a precise numeric indicator...

That precise mpg or L/100km figure you get, think that’s just bs? On average I get a couple mpg less in cold weather but that’s mainly because I wait for the car to warm up a couple minutes before leaving unlike in summer. Even though in summer I use the air conditioning which pumps cool air right away but uses quite noticeable power to drive the compressor.

      @@brentmadison7605 Yes, you can charge at virtually any temperature. But just as frigid weather often requires an engine block heater to keep everything from freezing, an EV battery also uses energy to keep itself warm enough to charge. When not charging the battery cools down again and uses almost no energy to maintain itself. Then when you get in to drive, it consumes energy to warm up to an optimum temperature. Again, similar to an engine block heater in frigid regions. I’ve driven and charged my Model Y all across the Upper Midwest and Canada during frigid and icy winter months and the vehicle operates and charges well. Charging speeds do slow down a bit, and energy availability in a cold battery does decline a bit, but good Supercharger route planning via the car’s Navigation and pre-conditioning the battery before departure can get you virtually anywhere.

      @@brentmadison7605 Yes. It can direct heat from components like the motors, the CPU and the GPU into the battery to heat it up. The slowing of charging in colder weather isn't a general weather issue, it's a "battery charges best when battery's at a certain range of temperatures" issue. So, if you use the car's navigation, it will plan in a charging stop at a Tesla supercharger (or a compatible one in the rare case where a Tesla charger isn't available) and the car will pre-heat the battery as needed to make sure it's at the right temperature when you arrive at the charger. It will also keep the battery warmed up if necessary (charging the battery produces heat because, y'know, entropy is a thing, but if it's brass monkey cold (as they say), it'll add some more heat in).
      It can still pump heat in and warm the battery if you forget to plan the route or are just winging it, but it's more efficient to give it a heads-up so it can do it while you're driving, instead of starting when you plug in.

      @@dawidklimek3371, Tesla has had this heat pump and integrated design for 2 or 3 years now. I'm not sure why they are just now sharing it with the general public (probably because they don't really do marketing), but they were ahead of the rest on this. It's also more than just the heatpump. Tesla's design allows heat/cold from any system to be directed to any other system through a special manifold and valve system. For example, waste heat from the motor can be used to heat the cabin in cold weather. Or, waste heat from the heat pump can be used to pre-heat the battery for supercharging when the AC is cooling the cabin. Or pretty much any other combination.
      Also, Audi and VW group are removing heatpumps from their cars because of some "chip shortage." In other words, they are buying a generic heatpump assembly from a supplier and they don't know how to adapt the design or rewrite the firmware for a slightly different chip and I guess the supplier doesn't care to either. Pathetic.

    A fun fact about the Tesla heat pump is that it is capable of extracting heat from the air even when the temperature outside is as low as -40°F. This means that it can provide heat for a vehicle even in some of the coldest climates on Earth.

    I own Model Y (Nov 2022) and i was testing how my range behave during one of the colder day in East Coast this year. Temperature was around 15 F and my Trip both ways were 100 miles. I used 190 miles of range. I started trip from Garage and pre heated car. That loss in efficiency right now for cold weather is too severe. At the same time traveling above 32 F losses are relatively small. Your usage case really matter.

    In my previous X (2018) we had an electric heating system with some scavenged heat. It did well but hit mileage to the tune of 20-30%. In the 2022 X they have a heat pump system, and it heats as fast or faster, and also has much less of an impact on mileage, maybe 10% at 32F.

    very cool, and respect for leaving comments on. My only problem with the heat pump only set up is that unlike a gas car that can run the a/c and heater in defrost mode, the heat pump only can not also run the a/c for defrost. IMO if you did install a strip heater like you had on the early 3's then you could do both. I know that would cause massive drain on the battery but it would provide back up heat in extreme cold weather and allow for very fast defrost. Maybe if you put in a humidity sensor so it only ran above 50% humidity or something. It would also give you the ability to provide supplemental heat when the heat pump has to defrost the evaporator on long cold trips. I'm sure you already know all this and are trying to keep prices down but my biggest gripe is that defrost really isn't what a gas car can do because it can run both heat and a/c at same time. I also wish you offered an option without the glass roof. Probably great in moderate temps but really not worth it in extreme temperatures. The glass gets so hot you can't tough it, and you can feel it baking the top of your head in the summer and in the winter it's just a massive heat sink sucking out the warmth of the cabin. Love the car, my gripes are minor compared to what I could go on about with my gas car but offering option without the glass roof and including a strip heater for defrost would by my first choice if you offered it. Thanks again for leaving comments turned on, much respect.

I had to drive back home 1000km to get the supermanifold and the AC Compressor changed after 2 weeks.
