 Taking an SUV 6 seat pure electric vehicle as the research object, the passenger compartment comfort is studied by experiment and simulation. Considering the solar radiation and human body model, PMV-PPD and relative humidity are used to analyze and evaluate the thermal environment of passengers. The results show that the velocity of cold air in the cabin and the surface temperature of passengers are within a comfortable range. By analyzing the evaluation index, we can understand the distribution of passenger compartment comfort, which has advantages of saving cost and shortening time compared with the experiment.
