Fast EV Charging: Thermal Challenges and Impacts on Lifetime of Battery Components

April 24, 2025 · 9:00 AM

On Demand Webinar

EV fast charging thermal challenges are a growing concern. Specifically, fast charging has become a must-have for today’s EVs, pushing battery systems to their thermal limits. Extreme temperatures, worsened by fast charging and harsh environments, can lead to premature component degradation and reduced battery lifespan. However, real-world testing across all variable conditions is limited. As a result, advanced 3D thermal simulation provides critical insight. In this webinar, we demonstrated how 3D thermal simulation can be carried out across various fast-charging scenarios and their effects on key components.

What We Covered

  • The thermal challenges associated with fast charging in EVs under cold conditions. This includes various insulation, heating, and preconditioning strategies.
  • Methods for quantifying and mitigating thermal stress to extend battery lifetime.
  • The impacts of various fast-charging scenarios on key battery components. Specifically, bus bars and connectors.

Who Should Watch

  • Thermal and Battery Simulation Engineers looking to improve or optimize battery thermal management through simulation.
  • Automotive OEMs & Suppliers developing battery thermal management solutions.
  • Researchers developing simulation and validation methods.
