Range Plus explained
Benefits of Range Plus
Up to 35% more range in winter
Heating the interior reduces the range by up to 35 percent, even in electric vehicles of the latest generation.
Retrofitting the Range Plus system from Webasto - a fuel-operated air heater plus tank - significantly reduces the load on the electric vehicle's battery. It also ensures pleasant warmth in the interior even in cold outside temperatures.
Case study: Stadtwerke Filderstadt
Stadtwerke Filderstadt are converting the service vehicles used by their sales force to electric drive. To ensure that employees do not freeze in the cold months, but the vehicle battery still provides the necessary range, the Range Plus system from Webasto has been retrofitted.
The benefits: increased range, fewer charging breaks and more comfort and safety for employees. Find out more in the video.
