24 EV and Connected Transportation Answering the Fast-Charging Questions To address these challenges, from charging to storage to propulsion, TE works closely with its customers to provide a broad range of solutions that address their needs today and well into the future. Charging a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) It all starts with delivering the needed power from the grid to the vehicle. TE's areas of focus include: • Charging inlets, with integrated sensing and actuation capability, safely and reliably allow for intelligent charging control while providing touch-safe operation and charging state feedback. These inlets are scalable to fit varying customer electrical/electronic architectures inside the vehicle, from discrete point-to-point operation, or via distributed intelligent control. TE's architecture and electronics teams deliver solutions to fit all regional charging station standards. • High-voltage contactors (electronically controllable switches) and connectors enable safe and efficient power switching and distribution for intelligent and optimized charging. • Thermal modeling and simulation capabilities allow for optimized design of components and subsystems that can be stressed by the high charging voltage and current needs. • Application tooling expertise, ensuring manufacturability focus for TE's customers. TE turns theory into practice by working directly with customers' manufacturing methods and practices. Storing Power in a BEV TE supports customers as they develop battery storage and management systems. TE's areas of focus include: • High-voltage, physically compliant, battery module contacts, and cell-to-cell connection interfaces, enabling battery pack scalability. • Robust interconnection systems designed for harsh environments, with integrated voltage and temperature sensing that enables smart control of battery management (measuring both state-of-charge and state-of-health). • Design, manufacturing, and application tooling expertise in miniaturized and compliant interconnect technology enabling small, robust packaging for high-capacity battery packs. Electrifying and Controlling Propulsion TE is proud to be working with its customers to help develop optimized solutions. Areas of focus include: • A suite of sensors that enable intelligent control of EVs. These include position sensors, wheel speed sensors, motor speed and position sensors, current sensors, temperature sensors, and voltage sensors. • Integrated electronics solutions that minimize size and weight while maximizing design flexibility. The ability to supply a single component that combines sensing, intelligent data processing and communication, and connection all in one robust package. • High-speed data connectivity, enabling vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-cloud communications and intelligent vehicle control. TE leverages its expertise across multiple industries when it comes to high-speed data connectivity, both wired and wireless. TE works closely with its customers to provide a broad range of solutions that address their needs today and well into the future. " "
