RANGE, CHARGING TIME, LONGEVITY

The shift to e-mobility presents us with challenging questions. They include concerns related to RANGE, CHARGING TIME, power grids, but also LONGEVITY, and the extent to which components can be recycled. Future-proof innovations need smart solutions: Würth Elektronik has just that.

Charging time of less than 30 minutes

Less than half an hour and an electric vehicle with an empty battery is ready to go again. The REDCUBE® components from Würth Elektronik are built to withstand 350 kilowatts of charging capacity. Combined with press-fit technology to ensure the safe transmission of strong currents, they ensure that the battery is fully charged again quickly.

Up to 10 percent more range

The WE-AGDT power transformer is no bigger than a fingertip. Würth Elektronik developed it for the new silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor technology in electric vehicles. When combined with a SiC semiconductor, the component increases powertrain efficiency, reduces power consumption, and increases the range of electric vehicles by up to 10 percent.

A 30 to 50 percent longer service life

The WE-MPSB electronics component is almost unshakable: It reduces unwanted electromagnetic radiation and has the power to withstand vibrations and extreme temperatures. This helps extend the life of electric vehicles by 30 to 50 percent.

Smart solutions to three electromobility challenges: longevity, range, and charging times

Electromobility in the Würth Group

The Würth Group is increasingly focusing on sustainability. In 2021, Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG, the Group’s parent company, announced its intention to be carbon-neutral (Scope 1 and 2) at all its German locations by 2024. The conversion of its vehicle fleet to alternative drive systems is one building block on the road to carbon neutrality. Employees of other Group companies such as Würth Norway are already using electric vehicles. It is true that electromobility confronts society with major challenges still: Charging times and charging stations, range and longevity are issues that Würth is properly prepared for already today.

 

Small components are the answer to major challenges

The innovative, sometimes minute electronic components of Würth Elektronik operate almost invisibly in the interior of electric vehicles or charging points, yet make a decisive contribution to their future viability.

Workshops prepare for electromobility: Würth supports them

For electric vehicles to be repaired in workshops you need to have:

 

The proper products: be it workplace protection, high-voltage PPE, or modern charging technology: Würth offers its customers a comprehensive and continuously expanding product range to support workshops in the maintenance and repair of electric vehicles.

 

Individual consulting and further qualification: Akademie Würth offers a wide range of further training measures and activities specifically for staff working in motor vehicle workshops, including courses on the topic of electromobility. The seminars cover topics such as occupational health and accident prevention regulations in the field of electromobility, fire protection measures when handling electric vehicles as well as the storage and disposal of lithium batteries.

 

Through consulting and further training opportunities, Würth helps workshops to not only prepare themselves for the changes brought about by the transformation in the automotive industry, but also to safeguard the future of their businesses through qualified personnel.

 

From charging station to billing system

Würth Electrical Wholesale and its sales companies Fega & Schmitt Elektrogroßhandel GmbH, Walter Kluxen GmbH and Uni Elektro Fachgroßhandel GmbH & Co. KG offer a complete service package in the field of electromobility. From the charging station itself, to its delivery, assembly, and maintenance, as well as billing software, customers can get everything from one source thanks to PRO.mobility. This complete service package is intended to facilitate the entire process for electricians and companies that change over their fleets and need an overview of charging operations. The electrician receives a user-friendly, easy-to-install plug & play system. For end customers, this means that a pre-assembled charging station, equipped with the necessary software, is provided to them for immediate use. The actual back end is independent of the manufacturer of the charging points, which is why users can connect their electric vehicles to any wall box that meets the technical requirements. The Würth Group is already working on further PRO.mobility features, such as load management within a cloud. In order to protect a house’s power supply from overloading, it will be possible to combine charging points from different manufacturers in one system. It is particularly the users of electric vehicles who will benefit from this range of services: Using only one card, they will be able to easily and cost-effectively charge their vehicles at 250,000 charging points all across Europe.
