The Future of Electric Vehicle Design
eBook Overview
The age of the EV has officially come — it’s no secret that electric vehicles are increasing in popularity. As EVs become more readily available and more people look to trade in their traditional cars for battery-powered vehicles, it is important to understand what makes an electric vehicle run.
The fundamental piece of any electric vehicle is its battery, and that battery must be designed to satisfy the requirements of the motor(s) and charging system that a vehicle utilizes. This includes physical constraints such as efficient packaging within the vehicle’s body to maximize capacity. As the main contributor to weight in an EV, designers must also consider the battery’s placement within a vehicle as they can affect power efficiency and vehicle handling characteristics.
From charging stations to battery management systems and connectors, there are many important factors to take into account when purchasing an electric vehicle. In this informative eBook from ON Semiconductor, learn more about the nature of electric vehicles and what their future could look like. Also learn more about the specifications, safety considerations, and management systems that go into EV battery design.
