BC102A: Panel Discussion: Does High Performance Separate More from General Transportation with Respect to Brakes on Electrical Vehicles?

The electrification of passenger cars is leading to new architectures with higher brake and driveline system complexities. Due to more regenerative braking, the reduced usage of friction brakes may eventually lead to downsizing the friction brakes on �standard� passenger cars. High performance EVs may be facing a different situation as they achieve the speed and acceleration of ICE performance cars. Regenerative braking will be applied here also. However, friction brakes may need to be upsized to compensate for increased power and weight. Also to be considered are stability control, vehicle dynamics, and different driving profiles. The panel will provide an overview on whether or not this will lead to a higher degree of differentiation on EV braking systems.
