Abstract

This paper summarizes the current electric distribution mode based on 12V in Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Zonal architecture, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the 12V system. Then, the evolution of distribution mode of 48V based power system in Zonal architecture is analyzed, including the aspects of DC-DC conversion efficiency and cost, eFuse and harness use are comprehensively analyzed, and the advantages of 48V system and the challenges faced by future applications are summarized.
