With the increasing global attention to environmental protection and the worsening energy crisis, new energy vehicles are gradually becoming the development trend of the automotive industry. In new energy vehicles, starter technology has also undergone significant changes and innovations.
For pure electric vehicles, as they do not have traditional fuel engines, there is no need for traditional starters. Instead, pure electric vehicles provide electrical energy to the motor through a power battery pack, and the motor directly drives the vehicle to travel. This driving method is not only efficient and environmentally friendly, but also reduces the mechanical wear and energy loss caused by traditional starters.
However, for hybrid electric vehicles, the starter still plays an important role. In a hybrid power system, the starter motor is not only responsible for starting the engine, but also works in conjunction with the electric motor to achieve efficient operation of the vehicle. In order to meet the special needs of hybrid vehicles, starter technology is constantly developing and innovating.
Among them, the starter technology in the 48 volt mild hybrid system has attracted much attention. This system achieves energy recovery and auxiliary driving by adding a 48 volt battery and motor to the traditional 12 volt electrical system. When starting the engine, a 48 volt starter can provide greater torque and faster starting speed, thereby improving the vehicle's fuel economy and driving comfort.
In addition, the starter motor in new energy vehicles also needs to have higher reliability and durability. Due to the more complex working environment of new energy vehicles, the starter motor needs to withstand higher voltage and current, while also dealing with frequent starting and stopping. Therefore, the design and manufacturing of starter motors require the use of more advanced materials and processes to ensure their long-term stable operation in harsh working environments.
However, the starter technology in new energy vehicles also faces some challenges. Firstly, the development speed of new energy vehicles is very fast, and starter technology needs to be constantly innovated and upgraded to meet the needs of different vehicle models and users. Secondly, the cost of the starter motor is also an important issue. Due to the need for more advanced technology and materials in the starter of new energy vehicles, their cost is relatively high, which also limits the popularity and promotion of new energy vehicles.
In short, starter technology in new energy vehicles is a field full of innovation and challenges. With the continuous development and popularization of new energy vehicles, starter technology will also continue to innovate and improve, providing more reliable and efficient power support for the development of new energy vehicles.
