With the optional heat pump, the interior of your ID. can be warmed up with less energy than with traditional heating. This can have a positive effect on the range.
Compared to a petrol-driven car, the drive components of an electric vehicle do not produce enough waste heat to adequately heat the vehicle interior. The solution: a highly efficient heat pump system compresses refrigerant under high pressure. The heat produced is used to heat up flowing cold air. This uses less energy from the battery for the high-voltage heater and can deliver greater range over electric vehicles without a heat pump.
The heat pump uses significantly less climate-impacting refrigerant R744 (compared to fluorinated refrigerant). Thanks to its excellent efficiency, it is a more energy-efficient way to heat an electric vehicle in cold ambient temperatures.
