2025 October - 44 articles

Cover Story: This review maps the modern BEV powertrain from battery pack to propulsion motors, comparing how leading automakers integrate five core subsystems—battery energy storage, electric propulsion motors, energy management system, power electronic converters, and charging infrastructure. It synthesizes current technologies from cell chemistries and pack design to SiC-based inverters and e-axles, highlighting grid-interactive functions such as fast charging and V2G. The paper concludes with a forward-looking roadmap spanning solid-state batteries, domain E/E architectures, high-voltage platforms, and software-defined capabilities that will shape the next generation of electric vehicles. View this paper
