However, so what this heated water could be used for remains an open question. In this paper a new proposal is presented following a holistic approach to answer this question. This is an onboard car and on-ground system, for heating water to be used for the benefit of the community, as this hot water would be applied to meet the heating demand in buildings. Concerns about the added mass on the car, costs and benefits and the user interface were discussed, and a universal system that could satisfy all of these criteria was developed.
