While electric vehicles are often praised for staying cool under pressure, staying warm is just as critical — and much trickier. From keeping batteries efficient in cold climates to ensuring passenger comfort without draining precious range, smart heating control is becoming a key engineering challenge. In this talk, we'll explore how control engineering is bringing brains to the heat game. We'll look at predictive heating strategies, energy-saving techniques, and why old-fashioned brute-force heating just doesn't cut it for modern EVs. Expect a lively journey through the control problems (and clever solutions) that are helping EVs survive and thrive when temperatures drop.
