Basics of electromobility

Construction of an electric car:
– Battery
– E-machines
– Power electronics
– On-board charger
– Auxiliary units
– Components and functions for HV safety

Excursus: Fuel cell vehicles

Focus on battery technology:
– Cell types (design, cell chemistry, purpose of application)
– From the cell via the cell module to the battery system
– Most important components of a battery
– Design of a HV battery

Focus on charging:
– Charging plugs and standards
– Charging modes and charging infrastructure
– Typical charging power and fast charging
– Current state of charging infrastructure in DE and EU

Typical electric mobility issues:
– Real vs. standard range of electric cars.
– CO2 balance of electric cars
– Fire risk and fire fighting of lithium-ion batteries
– Raw materials for electric cars
– Status of battery recycling
– Recuperation vs. sailing

Current state of the art and outlook:
– Battery development
– Fast charging
– 400 volts or 800 volts
– Platform strategy
– Plug’n’Charge
– Charging infrastructure development
