Electric Vehicle Architecture Shifts to 800V Systems to Optimize Charging Efficiency

 ·  1 min read

Automotive original equipment manufacturers are rapidly phasing out 400-volt electrical architectures in favor of 800-volt systems to improve charging throughput and thermal control.

Weight and Cost Reduction
Higher voltage allows for thinner wiring harnesses, cutting vehicle mass and reducing copper consumption. The transition requires substantial retooling of tier-one supplier components, including silicon carbide inverters and onboard chargers.
