Stuttgart, Germany – Two of the things most drivers of electric vehicles wish for are efficient driving and the shortest possible recharging time. Bosch is now starting the production of new powertrain solutions based on 800-volt technology. This will make recharging faster and provide a further boost for electromobility. "Bosch is upping the voltage in electromobility. Our 800-volt technology is the next step toward more powerful electrical powertrains and shorter recharging times," says Ralf Schmid, the executive vice president responsible for electrification in Bosch's Powertrain Solutions division. The 800-volt version of the inverter is based on silicon carbide semiconductors. These increase efficiency, and thus also range. In the 800-volt variant of the electric motor, Bosch has increased the power density. This reduces weight and allows for a more compact design. A premium German automaker is now using the active parts of this powertrain, i.e. the rotor and stator, for the first time.
