What Is E-Mobility (Electromobility)?

Electromobility or e-mobility refers to the electrification of transportation. It represents a move from traditional gasoline-run internal combustion engines to hybrid EV (HEV) or full battery electric vehicles (BEV) in the automotive industry.

The electrified vehicle depends on a larger ecosystem than traditional ones — from ever-increasing renewable energy sources to the EV battery supply chain. Testing the entire e-mobility environment is necessary to meet industry conformance standards for safety and reliability.

Understanding Measurement Accuracy Specifications for Battery Testers

Understanding Measurement Accuracy Specifications for Battery Testers

When you specify and purchase cell and battery test equipment for your R&D lab or production line, it is critical to have a thorough understanding of performance specifications. While it may be easy to state the price, the number of channels you need, and the current per channel, the accuracy of the equipment is the most critical specification. It can be challenging to specify your needs correctly. In this white paper, you will learn how to define accuracy and error in the realm of test equipment, four ways to specify accuracy, and interpret an actual error versus a specified error.

Investing in EV Battery Testing -- Benefits for EV Battery Designers

Phasing out gas-powered internal combustion engines (ICE) and moving towards clean energy electric vehicles (EVs) brings substantial technology investments to deliver EVs to the mainstream market. Government legislation to eliminate or limit the production of ICEs by 2035 is creating a surge in demand for the EV ecosystem. This in turn, is driving demand for more efficient ways of EV battery system. At the epicenter of this increase in the market, demand is the battery — the subsystem of EVs that makes a sustainable electrified transportation system possible.

E-Mobility FAQS

What is e-mobility?

Electromobility or e-mobility refers to the technology shift from an internal combustion engine to electrified powertrains for vehicles. The collective efforts from automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), EV battery developers, and grid edge developers aim to lower carbon emissions through technology. These industries require e-mobility testing solutions to ensure all parts of this complex ecosystem work cohesively and reliably.

What is the difference between a BEV, PHEV, HEV, and MHEV?

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) depends on its onboard battery to power its electric motor. Besides cars and buses, many two-wheelers and even boats are BEVs.

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has both a fuel-based engine and an electric motor with a larger battery. Plugging into an external source does not charge its battery though. The battery recharges when the driver steps on the brakes, a process known as regenerative braking. An HEV has a range of only 2-5 miles (3-5 km) if running on battery power alone.

A mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) helps save fuel by using a modest 48 V battery and electric motor that increase the efficiency of the vehicle's internal combustion engine. An MHEV allows the engine to shut off during cruising, decelerating, and braking.

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) has both an electric motor that needs recharging from a charging point and an internal combustion engine. Unlike MHEVs, a PHEV offers an average driving range of 30 miles (50 km) using electric power alone because it uses a larger battery size and can recharge from the grid.

What are the top two challenges facing e-mobility adoption?

1. Range anxiety: Drivers worry about their car running out of electricity without a nearby charging station. More powerful EV batteries and growing investments in charging infrastructure are easing this anxiety.

2. Higher vehicle cost: The battery makes up 30% of an electric vehicle's total cost. Better battery technology is helping drive down the cost of this component.
