Predictive thermal management: preparing for an upcoming load

Useful to know

Predictive control of thermal system from Bosch is a modular software for managing the thermal system of electric cars. Among the mentioned modules are a heat pump, use of waste heat and preparation for fast charging. [1]

The difference is between the individual physical component and the strategy of when and how to work. An available heat pump does not automatically demonstrate the same predictive behavior. When comparing cars, check if the preparation is triggered by route, manually or otherwise. This should be confirmed for the specific model, rather than derived from a common list of software provider capabilities.
