Automakers and tech companies team up: Next-generation smart in-vehicle charging system accessories debut at the Shanghai Auto Show! The automotive industry is undergoing profound changes, with cross-industry collaboration between automakers and tech companies becoming the core driving force behind innovation. At the recent international auto show, the debut of next-generation smart in-vehicle charging system accessories provided an excellent window into collaborative innovation across the industry chain.
The new generation of products generally adopts high power density design and supports bidirectional charging and discharging functions. They can convert grid AC power into DC power to charge the power battery, and can also feed kinetic energy back to the grid during vehicle braking or downhill driving, forming an ‘vehicle-grid interaction’ energy cycle. Some systems integrate silicon carbide power devices to significantly improve energy conversion efficiency while reducing size to accommodate compact vehicle body layouts.
In terms of intelligence, the system’s built-in AI algorithms can monitor battery status in real time and dynamically adjust charging strategies to extend battery life. Combined with vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, users can remotely control the charging process via a mobile app and even automatically select the optimal charging time based on grid load to reduce electricity costs.
Traditional automakers leverage their expertise in vehicle manufacturing to lead system integration and scenario definition, while technology companies draw on their accumulated expertise in semiconductors, software algorithms, and cloud computing to provide core modules and technical support. Another company showcased liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging technology, which balances charging efficiency and equipment lifespan through an intelligent temperature control system. This not only shortens the R&D cycle but also drives the standardisation of technical standards.
The upgrade of intelligent in-vehicle charging systems is driving transformation across the entire supply chain. Upstream power semiconductor companies are accelerating the development of high-temperature-resistant, high-reliability automotive-grade chips; midstream system integrators are improving yield rates through digitalised production lines; and downstream automakers are using charging performance as a selling point to build differentiated competitive advantages.
Automakers and tech companies team up: Next-generation intelligent in-vehicle charging system components debut at the Shanghai Auto Show! The deep integration between automakers and tech companies has evolved from ‘single-point breakthroughs’ to ‘ecosystem co-creation.’ The evolution of intelligent in-vehicle charging systems is not only about hardware performance improvements but also the cross-integration of energy management, vehicle networking, and artificial intelligence technologies.
