Addressing range anxiety generally results in larger battery capacity. Along with the larger battery, there is a desire for faster charge times. This has been driving a trend toward increasing On Board Charger (OBC) power. While 6.6kW units were common in the past, the expectation is that 11kW and 22kW will dominate going forward. Another

Volvo Cars has partnered with and invested in Breathe Battery Technologies and will be the first carmaker with access to its patented algorithm-enabled charging software for its next-generation electric vehicles. Volvo says that by integrating the technology, it will enable up to 30% faster charging rates from 10 to 80 percent charge while maintaining the

Not only do the gears and bearings have a major influence on sound radiation, but also electric motors. Electromagnetic excitations are conducted into the housing via the stator teeth and radiated at the surface in the form of sound. In a multi-body simulation, these excitations are usually introduced into the simulation as load boundary conditions

Download this paper from Elaphe to learn about the implications of functional safety when using an in-wheel distributed drive architecture:

As electric propulsion continues to gain market share, it is vital to maintain this momentum by refining technologies in preparation for the next generation of electric drives. Major components such as batteries, inverters and electric motors must become more compact while offering improved safety and efficiency. This paper explores the measures taken by BorgWarner to

With the dramatic growth anticipated in the electric vehicle industry, manufacturers and component suppliers alike are vying for position in performance, range, cost efficiency, durability and reliability. Thermal potting materials, while often unseen, play an important role in heat management – a significant factor in achieving these objectives. As such, designers and engineers can benefit

The West is quickly scaling up battery manufacturing, with many startups and gigafactories breaking ground in 2024 to fill electric vehicle demand. Pulling it off will require matching China's dominance in cell density, high throughput, and rapid time-to-market while improving traceability and output. With the advent of AI and industrial machine vision, Cognex Corporation incorporates

Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to identify the root cause of a failure. The findings from a failure analysis are often used to determine corrective actions such as preventing the failure of similar products, improving the design of future products, or to address liability claims. Independent third-party assistance is often

Pressure-sensitive adhesives offer several advantages for EV pack design including thermal runaway prevention, more design freedom, lower tooling costs, and longer shelf life. Download this whitepaper to learn how they work, how they solve battery design challenges, and the variety of battery applications they can be used for.
