How Ennovi’s FDC Redefines Cost-Effective Circuit Design for EV Batteries
Overview Every electric vehicle needs a printed circuit board (PCB), upon which electronic components are wired into a single circuit that allows electric current to pass between them. While some are made with rigid materials, other PCBs are made with flexible materials. Flexible circuits, as they are called, will be the main topic in this […]
Game-Changer in EV Battery Manufacturing: Ennovi’s Flexible Die-cut Circuit (FDC)
Overview Electronically controlled automotives have come a long way since their inception. Today, electric vehicles control functions such as GPS, anti-lock brakes, and vehicle stability control, among many others. Continued progress in EV technology has given rise to the development of self-driving vehicles, infrastructure information sharing, automatic parking, and even major changes in the powertrain […]
Integrating Electronic Control Modules (ECM) and Electronic Control Units (ECU) in EVs
What is an electronic control module? If we liken an electric vehicle (EV) to the human body, we can say that the battery performs the function of the heart, providing the necessary supply of power for the car to run. If this is so, then the electronic control module, interchangeably referred to as the electronic […]
The Role of Electronic Control Units (ECU) in Electric Vehicles
If the battery is considered the “heart” of your vehicle, then the electronic control unit may be considered its “brain”. Electric cars have come a long way from their first iterations, and among those innovations is the electronic control unit. In this article, we will be covering what an electronic control unit is, what it […]
The Ultimate Guide to Electronic Control Module: What Are They and How Do They Work
What is an electronic control module? An electronic control module (ECM)–also known as an electronic control unit (ECU)–as the name suggests, manages your electric vehicle’s (EV) subsystems. It collects data from sensors situated in the engine in order to analyze the car’s performance in real-time. Based on this data, adjustments are made to improve fuel […]
The future of electric vehicle batteries: What’s on the horizon
As you have learned from previous articles, the electric vehicle battery is arguably the most expensive part of an EV. Although the price of the EV battery has dropped significantly with the use of the ever-popular lithium-ion batteries and steadily increasing production volumes, you can look forward to further drops in prices as EV battery […]
What are ENNOVI CellConnect-Round Plates?
Previously, we’ve discussed the components, functions, and manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries. However, some elements of the EV battery pack design must be highlighted, namely EV battery interconnect or cell contacting system plates. This article discusses battery interconnects and how they function, with a specific focus on the ENNOVI CellConnect-Round interconnect system. What are EV […]
How are electric vehicle batteries manufactured? Understanding the assembly process
When people talk about the electric vehicle battery, they often fail to consider the beauty of its design. EV battery design does not end with just each individual cell, but its entirety– how the cells are combined so that overall battery output is capable of powering an entire electric vehicle. In order to do so, […]
Electric vehicle battery current collectors assembly (CCA & CCS)
By this time, you may already have ample knowledge about electric vehicle batteries, in particular, lithium-ion batteries which are prevalent in EVs today. But there’s another term you may have encountered: “current collector”. What is a current collector? In this section we will tackle EV battery current collectors assembly from definition to function. What are […]
Laminated busbars: What are they and how are they used?
Busbars have been dubbed as the “backbone” of many power applications today. It’s a no-brainer then that busbars are also being used with electric vehicle batteries. As EV batteries generate electricity, a battery busbar efficiently distributes the current flows between the elements within an EV’s systems and subsystems. Its structure is also important in terms […]
