As the electrified future takes shape in real time, major changes are playing out on several levels simultaneously. The rollout of EV charging networks, the proliferation of alternative energy sources, expansion of home EV charging and energy storage capabilities and an emerging variety of on-board battery systems are all converging in a rapidly evolving energy management landscape.
Both commercial and residential EV charging stations demand wider deployment of higher current systems to achieve faster battery replenishment. This shift brings new thermal management and efficiency design challenges while stressing the importance of safety and reliability. EVs are still an emerging market, and the reputations of brands and technologies alike are dependent on safe, easy and fast access to charging stations. Additionally, innovative product development must anticipate emerging regulations alongside international standards.
The industry’s high level of complexity requires multi-disciplinary perspectives, market insight and extensive engineering and manufacturing knowledge from trusted design experts. Molex is driving this future alongside automakers and product manufacturers to ensure new electric capabilities are safe, compliant and commercially viable.
