Voltage surge and transient suppression in EV chargers
Anything powered by an external source of electricity needs to be protected from voltage transients and surges, as it is not a question of whether such hazards will occur, but rather how often they will occur (and of what severity they will be). As might be expected, there are internationally agreed-upon regulations for surge and… Read more »
Stellantis unveils STLA Large, the second of its new “native EV” platforms
Stellantis has introduced a new “highly flexible, BEV-native platform that is the foundation for a wide range of upcoming vehicles for global markets in the D and E segments.” The STLA Large platform is one of four planned global BEV platforms—Small, Medium, Large and Frame—that will allow interchangeable battery cell chemistry, EDMs, power inverters and… Read more »
Video: Qnovo uses BMS software to increase battery lifespan and charging speed
It’s widely believed that frequent DC fast charging stresses a battery, shortening its useful lifetime. However, the long-term effects of frequent fast charging can be mitigated with properly designed charging limits. (Battery data specialist Recurrent recently released the results of a study on the subject.) Can BMS software eliminate this problem and push the limits… Read more »
How to protect an EV’s on-board charger from transient grid surges
Sponsored by Littelfuse. The automotive environment is one of the most severe environments for electronics. Today’s vehicle designs proliferate with sensitive electronics, including electronic controls, infotainment, sensing, battery packs, battery management, electric vehicle powertrains, and on-board chargers. In addition to the heat, voltage transients, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the automotive environment, the on-board charger… Read more »
