Classification and View of Automotive Power Supply Voltage for HEV, PHEV and EV

In the twenty-first century, the development of vehicles has been proceeding towards electronics, electric propulsion and system integration in 5 big trends. Environment, Safety, Market Change, Energy Security and Natural Resources. Especially, “Electric Propulsion of Vehicles” is rapidly accelerated for countermeasure of global warming. In this paper, we will propose the current status analysis for automotive high power supply voltage and classification for future view of HEV(Hybird Electric Vehicle). PHEV(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) and EV(Electric Vehicle).
