Today we have an excellent environment for e-mobility, the hype of the recent years has calmed down and changed to a more realistic view. And in the meantime we have a variety of different electric cars on the market, hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and full battery electric vehicles (BEV) with different levels of electrification e.g. mild HEV, full HEV, Plug-in HEV, BEV, BEV with range extender. Furthermore the battery costs could be reduced significantly.

Power electronics is a key technology for e-mobility, on the vehicle side as well as on the grid side. Against this background, we think that it is the right time to organise another ECPE Workshop on automotive power electronics. This workshop on power electronics for e-mobility will focus on four thematic areas:
• Multi-voltage on-board electrical system incl. 48V net
• Mechatronic system integration of the drivetrain
• Battery charging and grid interaction
• On-board voltage level perspective

The workshop is chaired by:
Dr. Bernd Eckardt (Fraunhofer IISB)
together with the Industrial Co-Chairs Hans-Peter Feustel (Conti Temic), Dr. Torsten Leifert (Volkswagen) and Dr. Lothar Schindele (Robert Bosch)

All presentations and discussions will be in English language.
