About Electric Vehicle ECU
An electric vehicle (EV) is powered by an electric motor for propulsion. An electric vehicle uses a battery to store energy, which is supplied to the electric motor through a controller. The controller regulates the energy flow from the battery to electric motor based on the power requirement. EVs first appeared in the market during the 19th century. However, they have high cost and short range compared with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and limited proliferation of the EV market. As it moved into the 20th century, increased greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from vehicles and environmental issues compelled countries to adopt alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), which had lower or near-to-zero emissions. This has led the automakers to switch to hybrid and electric powertrain technology.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global electric vehicle ECU market to grow at a CAGR of 46.26% during the period 2017-2021.
