Ace-Garageguy Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 New material can harvest sunlight by day and release heat at nighthttp://www.sciencealert.com/this-new-material-can-harvest-sunlight-by-day-and-release-heat-at-night?perpetual=yes&limitstart=1As the article states, by using something like this to provide occupant heating in electric cars, it has the potential to increase cold-weather range by supplementing the vehicle's battery power.What the article DOESN'T say is that a material like this could go a long way towards offsetting the energy loss most batteries suffer in cold weather...simply by keeping them warm, again, without using the vehicle's primary batteries to supply the energy.
