New Trend 1: Automotive OEMs are setting aggressive goals to electrify their fleets in the next 5-10 years. To do this, they need to overcome obstacles, and more importantly, how to provide nearly 20 times the power of existing fuel vehicles (ICE) without taking up valuable packaging space and adding weight. They need to ensure that every electric vehicle is compatible with DC fast charging stations along the highway to eliminate range anxiety. They need to show consumers that electric vehicles have all the comfort, safety and performance of fuel vehicles. Vicor is working with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to help them overcome these obstacles with innovative modular power delivery networks (PDNs).

New trend 2:

Power Density
The size and weight of power electronics directly impact vehicle performance. Go further and faster with smaller, lighter power solutions.
Flexibility and ScalabilityOEM
designers are challenged by evolving power delivery requirements. Quickly implement standardized solutions across a variety of vehicles.
Reusability
Qualification and approval of electronic components makes vehicle development time-consuming. A modular, building-block approach saves time and resources, allowing you to get ahead in the electrification race.

New trend three:

One of the major challenges facing the automotive industry is the need to deliver more power in less space. Electric vehicles use more than 50kW of electricity, while fuel-powered vehicles use less than 3kW. This nearly 20-fold increase in power requires compact power solutions to free up space and weight. Reducing the size and weight of the power supply network is a key factor. For example, the 2.5kW Vicor BCM6135 fits in the palm of your hand and weighs only 65 grams.
