DESCRIPTION:To lead the EV market\, organizations must meet key engineering
  goals on performance safety and cost.\n\nPerformance:\n\nOne of the conce
 rns of a potential buyer is how far an electric vehicle can travel without
  a need for charging. The goal is to reduce the range of anxiety. The pref
 erred range is over 400 miles while today it is 60-300 miles for EVs. Impr
 ove battery life and compare it to vehicle life(about 10 years). Today bat
 tery warranty is about 7-8 years. Increase battery and motor power density
 \, and create differentiators in terms of comfort like reducing noise and 
 vibration.\n\nSafety:\n\nSafety is the most important criterion for EVs. E
 ven a single battery fire could turn public opinion against electric mobil
 ity and set back Electric Vehicle development. Vehicles and components nee
 d to be tested against industry standards for compliance and reliability. 
 The switching device in EV leads to ripple and overvoltage\, which may lea
 d to the failure of dielectrics. Also\, the switching device results in em
 issions\, which we need to ensure are below regulatory standards.\n\nCost:
 \n\nAffordability is one of the factors for mass adoption. The production 
 cost of EVs should be equivalent to or lower than that of IC Engine vehicl
 es. 30-40% cost of EVs is Battery\, and it&#39;s expected to reduce battery co
 sts by &lt;$100 / KW-hr. With the increase in electronics\, software developm
 ent costs and time have increased\, and there is a need to improve develop
 ment productivity and reduce manual error.\n\nWhat will be discussed in th
 is educational seminar:\n\nHow Simulation Solutions Applied in Four Critic
 al Areas?\n\n- BATTERY &amp; BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS\n- ELECTRIC MACHINES\n
 - POWER ELECTRONICS\n- POWERTRAIN SYSTEM INTEGRATION\n\nRefreshments will
