All Toyota hybrids have PTCs in the HVAC box to augment the heater core from a cold start. However, the CHS/exhaust heat recovery system in the Prius/CT(maybe the RAV4/Camry/Highlander Hybrid) also helps with heat when the engine starts off.If I'm reading that right the PTC is an electric heater to supply cabin heat before the engine coolant is up to temp.
I never knew cars had electric heaters other than for seats, steering wheel, window glass and mirrors. Is this something new and who has it and when did it start?
Yeah this sounds brilliant, I wish my Escape had that feature! Would be so nice even though it doesn’t get very cold here it would just be great to have.Thinking about marshmallows
Not enough cars have electric heaters... will have to find a PTC at the salvage yard and wire it in to the cold climate car
I'm not sure, but I think my Jeep Grand Cherokee has something similar. I get heat pretty quick..... but not, red hot electrical coil in a box with air blowing through it, quick.Mercedes has an auxiliary coolant heater I assume to speed up warmup.
