Faster charging times and better performance
Among the benefits of future eDrive technologies enhanced with 800V technology are faster charging times and better performance. The greater systems efficiencies they bring will also lead to an increased driving range, currently a key obstacle for consumers wanting to make the switch to a battery electric vehicle. Efficiencies could also lead to car makers opting to use smaller batteries, reducing vehicle cost, complexity, and weight.
