9. Electric Vehicle Classification
• Electric Vehicles can be classified by the degree to which electricity is used to
power the vehicle
• There are many degrees and classifications possible
• Typical main ones are
• Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)
• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
• Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
• Others include
• Micro-Hybrids
• Mild-Hybids
9
10. Electric Vehicle Classification*
• Micro-Hybrid Electric Vehicles
• Basic Start/Stop functionality, switches off the engine and restarts it using the battery
• Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicles
• Mild Hybrids use a motor starter/generator unit (MGU), connected to a battery. The MGU charges
the battery and assists in vehicle acceleration after Start/Stop.
• Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)
• HEVs are powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor. Batteries are
charged via regenerative braking and optionally by a generator connected to the ICE.
• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
• PHEVs are HEVs with an on-board charger (OBC) that allows the batteries to be charged from an
electric power source. ICE used only as a backup.
• Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
• 100% use of electric power, no ICE. Batteries charged from electric power source and regenerative
braking.

18. The Transition to Electric Will Take Time
ICE Opportunities for Greener Driving
18
Opportunities for
• Automotive MCUs
• Standard Low-side, High-side and Bridge Smart Power
Devices for driving solenoids, DC motors and stepper motors
• Dedicated ICs for actuator driving, charging and power
management
• Power MOSFETs and IGBTs
ST provides silicon solutions for a broad range of Engine Management Systems,
from motorbikes to multi-cylinder Gasoline Direct Injection and common-rail diesel
engines as well as transmission control and actuation
19. Electric Vehicle User Benefits
• Greener
• Less pollution: EV’s reduce harmful air pollution from exhaust
emissions. When running on electric power there are zero
exhaust emissions. EV’s are quieter and reduce noise
pollution
• Renewable energy: If renewable energy is accessible to
recharge the EV, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced
even further
• Eco-friendly materials: There is a trend towards more eco-
friendly production and materials especially for EVs. The Ford
Focus Electric is partly made from recycled materials
• Safer
• Many EV features can improve safety. The risk of fire is
reduced to non-inflammable fuel. EVs often have a lower
center of gravity that makes them less likely to roll over
19
20. Electric Vehicle User Benefits
• Cheaper to run and maintain
• Cost of Electricity is typically one third as much per
kilometer as buying petrol for the same vehicle
• State and local subsidies may reduce the cost of EV
purchase and usage
• A battery electric vehicle (BEV) has fewer moving
parts than a conventional petrol/diesel car and
relatively little servicing
• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have petrol
engines that need regular servicing so cost more to
maintain. The shared electric power reduces petrol
engine maintenance costs.
• Battery technology is improving. Most car
manufacturers warrant EV batteries for around 8
years. (Source)

21. How Does it Work?
Key Elements in Electric Vehicles
21
Traction Inverter
• Converts DC Voltage into 3-phase AC
at up to 200kW for the electric motor
DC-DC HV
• Converts DC from the high voltage
batteries (400V-700V) to a DC voltage
required by the traction inverter
On-Board Charger (OBC)
• Converts AC from the Grid 95-265 Vac
and converts to a DC voltage required
for battery charging 400-800 V
DC-DC 48 V
• Converts HV DC from the HV batteries
to 48 V for use in vehicle subsystems
DC-DC 12 V
• Converts HV DC from the HV batteries
to 12 V for use in legacy vehicle
subsystems
Battery management Systems (BMS)
• Manages the batteries for longevity
and performance

23. Getting Started - Mild Hybrids
• Mild Hybrids (typically) require a motor starter/generator unit
(MGU), a DC-DC converter and a 48V lithium-ion battery, they
provide a low-cost hybrid option
• Motor starter/generator unit (MGU)
• Is connected to the driveshaft and to the 48V battery
• Boosts the ICE during a start/stop event to improve acceleration
• Charges the 48V battery when the vehicle is running on ICE power and
slowing down using regenerative braking
• 48V battery also provides power to the high-current elements (fans,
pumps, AC etc.) and via a DC/DC converter provides power to a
small 12V battery for the 12V legacy system
23
MHEV
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Mild Hybrid examples include the 2017 Renault Scenic, 2017 Buick LaCrosse eAssist, and 2017 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
“Mild” hybrids are a low cost entry point for manufacturers and can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 20%
24. Why 48V?
• 48V electrical systems have advantages over current
12V systems, providing 4 times the power during
recuperation
• The improved power is ideal when powering fans,
pumps, electric power steering racks, and
compressors
• Higher voltages are more efficient, but automotive
regulations demand costly shielded cabling (galvanic
isolation) above 60V to protect occupants, so 48V
keeps the cost down
