Fast recharging is essential for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to ensure on-demand mobility. This changes system design, shifting from today’s loose link between refuelling stations and vehicles, to a tight relationship between infrastructure and BEVs. Based on future standards, voltage level rightsizing is a key enabler for fast charging. The webinar will outline the benefits and limitations of extended voltage, something which can significantly impact the entire BEV system design. A short case study based around an 800V BEV will be used to illustrate the key challenges of system design and discuss the solutions on thermal system design & management.
