In the next 5 years, which accessories will become the focus of the upgrade of new energy vehicles? In the next 5 years, the upgrading of new energy vehicle parts will focus on battery, thermal management, intelligent driving and other areas, as analysed below:

Solid-state batteries are regarded as the core technology of the next generation of power batteries, with higher energy density, which can significantly improve range, and faster charging speed and better safety. Sodium-ion batteries, on the other hand, have attracted much attention due to their low cost and abundant resources. China’s Ningde Times has announced that its sodium-ion battery technology has reached a practical level and plans to achieve large-scale industrialisation in the next two years.

With the development of electrification and intelligence in new energy vehicles, thermal management systems are becoming more and more important. In the future, the thermal management system will develop in the direction of higher efficiency and integration. Sankyo Electronic Expansion Valve has a global market share of 35%, and its products help to improve the performance of the thermal management system. The thermal management system will pay more attention to precise temperature control to ensure that key components such as batteries and motors work within the optimal temperature range, prolonging service life and improving safety.

Intelligent driving sensors are the key to achieving autonomous driving in new energy vehicles. Millimetre wave radar will move to a higher frequency band Huawei Automotive Electronics 77GHz millimetre wave radar has achieved mass production, and the cost is 30% lower than that of international giants. Lidar will become the standard of L3 level and above automatic driving system, to achieve a longer distance, higher precision environment perception, the configuration of multiple Lidar can enhance the vehicle’s ability to identify and safety in complex road conditions.

In the future, carbon fibre composites will be gradually applied to more models, such as Azera and other high-end models have adopted Zoomflex Eagle T700 carbon fibre, to achieve weight reduction of the body and improve the range. Magnesium alloy die-casting technology will also make breakthroughs. The magnesium alloy dashboard bracket developed by Yunhai Metal can reduce the weight of the whole car by 12% and improve production efficiency at the same time.

In the next five years, which accessories will become the focus of new energy vehicle upgrades? Charging technology upgrades will ease users’ “range anxiety”. Domestic enterprises, such as Guangzhou Automobile EA, have also introduced 800V high-voltage platform technology, which significantly improves charging efficiency. Wireless charging technology is gradually moving from the laboratory to the market, and support the vehicle automatic alignment function, the future is expected to realise the convenient experience of ‘parking is charging’.
