Britain’s new relationship to the EU has important implications for automakers, specifically for their battery supply chains. As The Guardian reports, all UK-EU trade in cars and parts will continue to be free of tariffs or quotas, as long as they contain enough content from either UK or EU factories. For three years, batteries will… Read more »

IC Solutions For Safe And Reliable Propulsion Inverters
In this session, we will review the trends affecting the design of traction inverters, the challenges imposed by the migration towards higher bus voltages, and the need to meet ISO26262 “functional safety”. The changes required to support high-voltage SiC MOSFET switching modules will also be examined. New IC solutions that enable effective and efficient isolated… Read more »
Can Electric Vehicles Overheat? Using NTC Sensor Design to Overcome Thermal Management Challenges
With the introduction of the fully-electric powertrain within electric vehicles, there has arisen a unique range of thermal management challenges. The heart of an electric vehicle (EV) is its motor and accompanying powered subsystems. Protection and regulation of these critical areas make temperature sensors essential to achieve product quality, safety, longevity, and performance. Using new… Read more »
Advancements In High Voltage Cable Design For EV Systems
Electric mobility power systems require robust HV cables designed to meet challenging application conditions.

A Breakthrough Pyro Safety Module For Safe E-Mobility
With the growing electrical vehicle market and electrification in general, electrical circuit protection becomes increasingly important for the safety of electrical systems. Hirtenberger Automotive Safety and Littelfuse plan to jointly develop an integrated, active and passive Pyro Safety Module (PSM). This PSM combines the advantages of pyro-, fuse-, and sensor technologies in a synergetic way…. Read more »
With backing from VW and JB Straubel, QuantumScape stands out from the crowd of new EV stocks
Electromobility companies are going public at a pace that recalls the dot-com frenzy of the 1990s. Yes, history will probably repeat itself to a certain extent—some of these firms will go belly-up, but others will eventually grow into successful and influential players. One that seems particularly promising is QuantumScape, a California developer of solid-state lithium-metal… Read more »
