Get Rid of the 12V Battery To Improve EV Performance
Why is there any need for an electric vehicle to have a conventional 12V battery when the motors are already powered by either a 400V or an 800V battery? A lot of automotive systems need to quickly respond to sudden power changes. Batteries normally have quicker response times when compared to DC-DC power converters, although things have changed recently.
New EVs use up as much as 20 times more power in …
