An electrical vehicle (1) comprising a battery system (3) configured to generate electrical energy to operate the electrical vehicle, a control system (5) configured to control various systems of the electrical vehicle, a temperature monitoring system (7) configured to monitor at least one temperature of said battery system (3), and to generate a temperature signal (9) comprising said at least one temperature, wherein said battery system is provided with a thermal energy arrangement (11) arranged to supply thermal energy to keep the battery system (3) within an optimal operating temperature interval. The thermal energy arrangement (11) comprises a mechanical vapor recompression, MVR, unit (13) and an absorption cooler unit (15). A working liquid, preferably having a freezing temperature less than -40 °C, is applied. A control system (5) is configured to receive the temperature signal (9), and to control the thermal energy arrangement (11) in dependence of the at least one temperature, to supply said generated thermal energy to the battery system (3) via a cooling line (35) and a heating line (39) to keep the temperature of said battery system (3) within said predetermined temperature interval.
