Aluminium can be used to produce hydrogen and heat in reactions that yield 0.11 kg H 2 and, depending on the reaction, 4.2–4.3 kWh of heat per kg Al. Thus, the volumetric energy density of Al (23.5 MWh/m 3) 1 outperforms the energy density of hydrogen or hydrocarbons, including heating oil, by a factor of two (Fig. 3). ...

In addition to using the energy stored in the battery to heat the vehicle, the concept of using a thermal energy storage (TES) device to heat the vehicle has also been proposed [17], [18], [19]. The idea is to charge the on-board TES device at the same time when the EV is parked for battery charging.
