The invention discloses a multi-connected multi-functional heat pump type electric air-conditioning system and a working method thereof. The air-conditioning system comprises an electric compressor, an out-of-vehicle heat exchanger, a vapor-liquid separator, an in-vehicle heat exchanger, a battery cooler, a vehicle-mounted storage battery, a battery cooler water pump, an electronic expansion valve, an electromagnetic valve, a water tank, a low-temperature cooler water pump, two-position three-way valves, a low-temperature cooler, an out-of-vehicle heat exchanger fan and an in-vehicle heat exchanger fan. According to the air-conditioning system, the year-round operating work condition of an electric vehicle can be well dealt, the in-vehicle heat exchanger and the battery cooler can serve as an evaporator and a condenser according to the needs of the operating work condition, the out-of-vehicle heat exchanger can decide to serve as the evaporator or the condenser in an automatically-matched mode according to the heat load, and heating or cooling of a battery can also be met while the in-vehicle refrigerating or heating requirements are met.
