Summary: | A vehicle may include an electric drive having at least one electric motor, at least one battery and at least one power electronic and may be cooled via a cooling circuit. The vehicle may include an air-conditioning system including at least one duct. A refrigeration circuit and a thermoelectric heating device may be arranged in the at least one duct. A control device may be configured/programmed to actuate the air-conditioning system, and may be operable to: activate the refrigeration circuit to cool the interior; operate the thermoelectric heating device as a cooler during a start-up phase of the refrigeration circuit; operate the thermoelectric heating device only as the cooler during the start-up phase of the refrigeration circuit when a cool-down function is activated; and automatically activate the cool-down function when a temperature difference between an actual temperature of the interior and a target temperature of the interior exceeds a predetermined temperature difference threshold value. |
