n a keynote speech opening the NXP Connects developer conference, NXP CEO Kurt Sievers announced a collaboration with Volkswagen centered on the electronics for electric vehicles (EVs). Volkswagen has adopted NXP’s
battery management system (BMS) into its innovative MEB platform to help increase vehicle range, extend battery longevity, and enhance safety. NXP’s BMS provides the flexibility and scalability needed to meet the diverse range needs of today’s electromobility customers, whether they seek a compact car, the groundbreaking ID.3, a plug-in hybrid, or a luxury electric vehicle like the ID.4, Audi e-Tron or Porsche Taycan. “As part of the first wave of Volkswagen’s battery electric vehicle initiative,
we’ll deliver up to 75 full-electric vehicle models to market by 2029,” says Dr. Holger Manz, head of Development for Vehicle Energy Supply and High Voltage Systems, Volkswagen AG. “Incorporating a functionally safe battery manage- ment system that can scale across many car models makes it easier to achieve the full power potential of a battery, optimised range, and the extension of the battery’s lifetime.”
After many years of automotive industry EV development, the core challenge
facing the sector remains the extension of range. With the release of Volkswa- gen’s ID series, Volkswagen is pressing the boundaries of EV travel with a flexi- ble offering that enables 45 kWh, 58 kWh or 77 kWh powered models. The medium battery can recharge to enable a range of up to 260 miles in 30 mins, in quick charge mode with DC (direct current) with 100 kW performance. The larger battery can enable a vehicle to travel up to 340 miles on a full charge. “Volkswagen offers its customers rich options for the coming age of electrifi-
cation,” says Lars Reger, NXP’s CTO. “We are proud to offer precision system- level solutions that scales across models, making it easy to design-in while offering the highest levels of safety.” Currently, 16 of the leading Top 20 car makers have designed in NXP battery management solutions..
