ZF’s exothermic seat belts: The game-changing technology that helps EVs go 15% further

These seatbelts conduct heat through tiny heating elements woven into the belt’s fabric, and according to ZF, these elements will not impact the seat belt’s crash performance. They also feel and look identical to existing belts. While details are scarce on how warm they get, when they’ll be available, and on what vehicles, this could be a game-changing technology for EVs in cold weather.
