How can I heat my EV?

Usually, the place the ICE heater core occupied is more than roomy enough to install one or more ceramic electric heater cores, rated at 1500 Watts, that are available at any of the EV parts suppliers. The heater is powered by the main battery pack. The temperature of these cores is self-regulating, and they can be stacked for more heat. The cores are switched by a large relay.

Some systems have a small tank and water heater in the vehicle, and use the existing heater core and a small pump (hydronic heating). Both methods have been used successfully.

How about air conditioning?
