Electric Vehicle Design Considerations

Automotive engineers and designers must find ways to distribute adequate power to all the required systems reliably. In electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), high power usage presents additional concerns for PCB, cable, wire harness, and box build assembly and design. However, well-designed high-power boards can be achieved by:

  • Choosing board materials that are capable of withstanding high temperatures.
  • Optimizing thermal usage with good resistance management.
  • Spacing high-power components apart from one another.
  • Following proper grounding design rules.
  • Controlling current flow using large copper weights.

Selecting the Best EV Solutions Supplier

Selecting the best electric vehicle solutions supplier for PCBA, cable, wire harness, and box build assembly is a critical decision that can significantly impact the success of electric vehicle projects. Several key factors should be considered during the selection process to ensure the highest quality, reliability, and performance of these crucial components.

Assess Expertise & Experience

First and foremost, assess the supplier’s expertise and experience in the electric vehicles industry. Look for a supplier with a proven track record of delivering electric vehicle solutions and a deep understanding of the industry’s unique requirements, regulations, and standards. Experience in working with reputable electric vehicle companies can serve as a strong indicator of a supplier’s credibility and capability.

Evaluate Technical Capabilities

Next, evaluate the supplier’s technical capabilities in PCBA, cable, wire harness, and box build assembly. The supplier should demonstrate technical capabilities and advanced manufacturing processes. Evaluate their facilities, equipment, and workforce to ensure they have the expertise, state-of-the-art machinery, and skilled personnel to handle complex PCBA, cable, wire harness, and box build assembly projects. They should be able to accommodate high-density interconnects, stringent quality control measures, and offer flexibility in customization.

Research Quality & Compliance

Quality and compliance are paramount in electric vehicles. Assess the supplier’s commitment to quality management systems and adherence to industry standards. Look for suppliers who have certifications such as ISO 9001 and who prioritize comprehensive testing, inspection, and traceability processes. Compliance with electric vehicle regulations is essential to ensure the highest standards of safety and performance.
