Introduction As the world continues to evolve toward a more sustainable future, the transportation industry is experiencing a revolutionary shift to electric mobility (e-mobility) in place of conventional forms of transportation. At a high level, e-mobility is the electrification of transportation through the integration of electric powertrains, advanced vehicle information systems, and connected infrastructure. The transition to e-mobility is driven by a complex interplay of technological advancements, consumer sentiment, and government regulations. From a technological perspective, improved battery and power electronics technology have coincided to make efficient and performant e-mobility possible. Meanwhile, consumers and governments are demanding more sustainable transportation solutions to combat climate change and decrease dependence on nonrenewable energy sources. Ultimately, e-mobility represents a fundamental change in how we power transportation, bringing unique challenges and opportunities. Such a monumental shift requires more than simply replacing internal combustion engines with electric motors. In this context, connectivity has emerged as a fundamental enabler of e-mobility solutions. With modern e-mobility solutions consisting of multiple interconnected electronic systems—each of which is increasingly high power, fast, and complex—the onus is on connector technology to safely and reliably communicate power from one system to another. In this eBook, we will explore the role of connectivity technologies in enabling the e-mobility revolution, the challenges that this transition faces, and ways that Amphenol is helping designers overcome these challenges to achieve a more sustainable future.
