Analog Devices (ADI) and Rimac held a virtual discussion focused on topics ranging from how electric vehicles (EVs) are entering the mainstream and helping the auto industry reduce its carbon footprint to how technology from ADI is helping power Rimac's completely electric C_Two model hypercar launching in 2021.
At the center of the world's push toward a more sustainable, electrified future are EVs. EVs are fully electric cars that need at least three types of electronic units for energy conversion: DC/DC converters, typically from high voltage to 12-V to power the low-voltage electronics; a DC/AC traction inverter to drive the electric motors, typically three-phase, which supplies the power to the wheels, and AC/DC converters for recharging vehicle batteries both during braking energy recovery and from standard residential or high-power charging stations (for fast charging). According to the World Economic Forum, 215 million electric passenger vehicles will be on the road by 2030. With this rapid adoption of electric vehicles over the next decade, the demand for supporting technologies will continue to increase.
The discussion was moderated by Roger Atkins, EV influencer and founder of Electric Vehicles Outlook. Panelists included Greg Henderson, SVP of automotive, communications, and aerospace & defense at Analog Devices; Patrick Morgan, VP of automotive at Analog Devices; and Matija Gracin, director of components R&D at Rimac.
