"avoids heaters, which often lead to reduced driving range... applies plane heating element generating heat by supplying power to interior parts of vehicle, reducing energy consumption required to reach optimal temperature while maintaining longer heat retention, overcoming reduced driving winter range... weaves warp/ weft threads, metal fiber (50 μm diameter) fabric applied to vehicle seats... generating heat over large area for 10–30% higher heating performance... even if a break, performance is maintained"
