Automakers continue to seek energy-efficient solutions to improve passenger comfort while reducing power consumption in electric vehicles. One challenge is the energy-intensive process of heating the cabin, which affects vehicle range. To address this, a novel seat heating system was developed, integrating heating elements in key thermoreceptor regions to optimize thermal comfort. The system was tested in real vehicle conditions with human subjects, and results were compared to a conventional heated seat. Findings indicate that the novel heating system significantly reduces the time required to reach thermal neutrality. After 5 min, it effectively minimized cold sensations, whereas the conventional system still left passengers feeling cold. After 10 min, 26% more participants reported a neutral thermal state with the novel system, with some experiencing slight warmth. Additionally, the system required less energy to achieve the same level of comfort. These results demonstrate that the innovative seat heating solution provides faster and more efficient thermal regulation, reducing energy consumption while improving passenger satisfaction. This makes it a promising alternative for enhancing comfort in electric and conventional vehicles.
