• Electric heating system It is an inexpensive, simple and applicable method. Electric consumption is completely converted to heat. Only the losses during heat transmission reduce efficiency.

• the motor cooling system values in electric vehicles is suitable for cold water generation system condenser cooling, an additional condenser component is used and this ruins the cost, weight and layout convenience of the system.
• the coolant line between the cooling compressor and the air conditioning module makes the cooling system complicated and increases the weight and cost.
• Cooling systems operated by photovoltaic batteries are expensive, heavy and complex.

• At least one air conditioning module heating coil (4) which enables to heat the cabin
• At least one cooling compressor (7) which is in the vehicle air conditioning and battery cooling system (A) and increases temperature of the coolant by pressurizing it,
• At least one two-phase and two-fluid cold heat exchanger (9) which collects the waste heat of the cabin air conditioning system (K) and the battery (B) group,
• At least one thermostat (11) which deactivates the radiator (2) when the outer environment is cold
• At least one cabin and battery coolant line (12) which carries the coolant coming from the cabin air conditioning system (K) and the battery (B) group,
• At least one cabin air conditioning module fan (13) which, when the vehicle is not running, cools the cabin by transferring the excess heat within the cabin to the coolant,

• the vehicle air conditioning and battery cooling system (A) is a water cooling system, which is standardized in the state of the art, and which is operated by two two-phase and two-fluid heat exchangers.
• Electric vehicle electric motor (M) operation temperatures are below the cooling system condenser condensing temperature. Therefore, after the liquid-phase coolant (generally ethylene glycol added water) used for cooling the electric motor (M) leaves the electric motor (M), it is connected to the inlet of the two- phase and two-fluid heat exchanger group (5), and after collecting the waste heat of the motor (M), it also collects the condensing heat of the cooling system, thereby it can bring the heat to a higher value. This value is equal to the engine coolant temperature of an internal combustion engine for general operation points.
• liquid-phase coolant generally ethylene glycol added water
• the water heated in the heat exchanger (5) is heated by being passed through the heating coil (4) provided in the cabin air conditioning system (K) in the known art. Since a liquid having values near the heating water temperature and flow rate values of the vehicles with internal combustion engines is circulated and since heating capacity of the heating coil (4) is much higher than necessary due to the excessive waste heat value of these vehicles, there is no need for making a change in this component.
• the by-pass line (10), and the thermostat (11) system that closes the line going to the radiator (2) at very low ambient temperature, which are used in internal combustion engines, can be used as the same way. This way, the heat collected from the motor (M) and the batteries (B) and all of the heat collected from the cooling system can be used for heating the cabin.
• the by-pass line (10) and the thermostat (11) are deactivated.
• the heat collected from the cabin air conditioning system (K) and battery (B) group via the coolant line (12) is drawn by the two-phase and two- fluid cold heat exchanger (9); its temperature is increased by the cooling compressor (7); and it is transferred to the motor cooling water by condensation in the two-phase and two-fluid hot heat exchanger (5).
• the heated water passes through the radiator (2) and upon being cooled by means of the radiator fan (3) all waste heat is discharged to the outer environment.
• the circulation in the hot water line is enabled by the motor cooling system pump (6).
• the cabin temperature is reduced by the cooling coil (16), and the hated water is delivered from the coil (16) to the two-phase and two-fluid cold heat exchanger (9) by means of the cold water circulation pump (15).
• the temperature of the hot water here is used for evaporating the pressurized coolant, and the evaporated coolant is expanded on the compressor (7) (by using the compressor as a turbine); and by operating the electric motor coupled to the compressor (7) as a generator, electricity is generated and the batteries (B) are charged.
