July 7, 2020 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that examines electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEVs) power systems to understand what should be tested and how to perform those measurements in order to achieve peak vehicle operation.

Manufacturers of EVs and HEVs are making it simpler and more convenient to maintain adequate electric charge levels to keep their vehicles running for longer distances on electric power, enticing more drivers to try these environmentally friendly vehicles. Of course, testing the electrical motors, systems, and their components is an important part of ensuring that every EV and HEV has the longest running times and operating lifetimes possible, and that involves understanding what needs to be tested and how to perform the proper measurements.

Learn more about what EVs and HEVs are currently designed for and how their powertrain and battery systems work and recharge. Using battery charge/discharge test systems and conducting life cycle testing are a couple examples of important system tests that this blog entry goes over.

Make Sure EVs and HEVs Are Good for Every Mile

"Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are gaining in popularity as they improve in performance. Contributing to the growing numbers of EVs and HEVs on the roads are increasing comfort levels for drivers dealing with vehicles powered by electric motors. Manufacturers of EVs and HEVs are making it simpler and more convenient to maintain adequate electric charge levels to keep their vehicles running for longer distances on electric power, enticing more drivers to try these environmentally friendly vehicles. Of course, testing the electrical motors, systems, and their components is an important part of ensuring that every EV and HEV has the longest running times and operating lifetimes possible, and that involves understanding what needs to be tested and how to perform the proper measurements.

As noted in an earlier blog on EVs and HEVs, "Making Measurements That Keep EVs and HEVs On the Road," the growing trend of electrification in vehicle powertrains is supporting a healthier environment with lower carbon dioxide emissions. The electrification relies on efficient motors, high-power subsystems, circuits, and components, and high-voltage batteries (in addition to the standard 12-V vehicle batteries that support the internal-combustion engine in an HEV). One of the challenges for suppliers of these EV and HEV components is achieving the power levels needed to drive the electric powertrain to sufficient speeds without adding significant size and weight, a characteristic known as high power density.

At present, EVs are designed for much shorter driving distances than HEVs (typically about 20 to 25 miles for "around-town" driving), relying entirely on their electric traction motors and electric energy stored in a high-voltage lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery for propulsion.
