The increasing use of batteries in vehicles has heightened the need to preserve energy to improve range and fuel consumption. As a major consumer of energy, a vehicle’s air conditioning (A/C) system can contribute to range reduction, so if the vehicle can automatically reduce the use of its A/C system, range will be extended. Learn more about how this can easily be achieved with a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensor.
