Solid-state Air Conditioning System for Electric Vehicle Application

A regular internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle’s air conditioning system consists a compressor which is driven by the mechanical power of the internal combustion engine. Unlike the regular ICE vehicle, an electric vehicle uses electric motor and battery to propel itself. Hence, unless an electri...
