Managing temperature in an electric vehicle (EV) is key to battery performance and range — not to mention safety. Thermal management techniques have made great strides over the past decade, but it still remains one of the most challenging obstacles in EV design. This 60-minute webinar from the editors of Automotive Engineering will discuss the latest strategies in thermal management for EVs including how these strategies apply to hybrid and PHEV powertrains. An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
