Does anybody know of a company making a decent heat pump for cars?
The OEM electric vehicles went that route, and they were efficient and
reliable. I do believe Panasonic was the manufacturer. Any bright
ideas on where/how to get started?
Thanks,

Hi Bob,

I have a heat pump in my Toyota RAV 4 EV, but I wouldn't recommend
this setup for a conversion EV.

Electric Blue has some heating and air conditioning products for
conversion EVs.
They also have a cool looking computer for your voltage, current etc.
instrumentation that uses a LCD on the dash for a display.

Maybe modify an add-on heat pump that was intended for tank water
heaters? Caveat: maybe too large, and very likely designed for a
vibration free environment which a vehicle certainly is not.
