How supporting hardware is advancing to meet higher-voltage EV architectures
Electric vehicles (EVs) are often defined by their most visible systems, such as the batteries, electric motors, and charging technology. However, electrification affects more than these primary subsystems. A range of supporting hardware … [Read more...]
Did you know ICE vehicles pose fire risks 60 times higher than EVs?
A new study by Anidjar & Levine on vehicle safety has shown that internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, including those that run on gasoline or diesel, experience 60 times more fires than electric vehicles (EVs). With 1,530 fires per 100,000 … [Read more...]
How does ISO 26262 (Road Vehicles – Functional Safety Standards) apply to EVs?
ISO 26262, titled "Road Vehicles — Functional Safety," is an international standard specifically designed to ensure the functional safety of electrical and electronic systems in road vehicles. The standards have a 12-part risk-based safety assessment … [Read more...]
Why surge protection matters for EV charging infrastructure
Electrical transients, often called surges, are short-duration, microsecond events. Surges are a risk to any electrical equipment, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is no exception. Such events can interrupt, delay, or corrupt signal … [Read more...]
What is the role of embedded software in electric vehicles?
Battery and engine aside, one critical factor of a highly reliable electric vehicle (EV) that’s rarely discussed is its embedded software. An embedded system includes hardware and software applications built to perform specific tasks. A … [Read more...]
