In recent months, the electric vehicle (EV) industry has been under heightened scrutiny, prompting regulatory authorities and industry thought leaders to emphasize the necessity of stronger safety measures and checks, especially in the domain of two-wheelers. This renewed focus has sparked the interest of industry stakeholders in exploring innovative options and configurations for the electronic components used within the vehicle’s battery charging ecosystem.
At the heart of electric vehicles lies the EV battery pack, comprising multiple battery cells and a critical component known as the Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS plays a pivotal role in managing rechargeable batteries, ensuring their efficient and safe operation. However, within this confined space, the circuit board of the BMS, housing numerous electronic components, can contribute to elevated ambient temperatures within the battery pack. Managing this heat becomes imperative for ensuring vehicle safety.
In light of recent incidents and emerging technological challenges, it is essential to address the heat management issues inside the battery pack and enhance the cooling mechanisms. One effective approach to achieve this is by incorporating superior electronic components that generate less heat, thereby reducing the reliance on additional cooling accessories.
While Direct Current (DC) Power Relays are commonly used in electric and hybrid four-wheelers, it’s time for the burgeoning EV two-wheeler industry to also leverage DC power relays across various applications. Despite the smaller battery space in two-wheelers compared to four-wheelers, DC power relays can adapt to these more compact environments.
