I-Pace Thermal Management

If anyone's interested, here's a video of how the I-Pace concept's thermal management system works. Heating the cabin with the motor would increase the car's range and I think Tesla is doing something similar. Makes sense especially for those in colder climates.

They didn't really go beyond the heat pump and how it cools the car, only how it heats the cabin. The intricacies of the system would probably baffle me anyways. Maybe looking at Tesla's systems would give you an idea.

That's in ideal situations, so I can see it reducing the amount of battery drainage in the winter when you need to heat up the I-Pace. Instead of drawing those 30 miles from the battery, it's heat pump from the motor.
