Vicor enables Betterfrost Technology to defrost glass in record time

Defrosting icy windshields can channel waste heat from internal combustion engines to the windshield, inefficiently distributing it across the surface. EVs, in particular, need to reevaluate their de-icing approaches, since traditional HVAC methods for windshield defrosting are inefficient and ineffective. At freezing temperatures, windshields ice over quickly on the road, obscuring visibilityVicor customer, Betterfrost Technology, has developed…
