1. Electric cars use more PCB boards than gasoline cars
The electrification and intelligence of new energy electric vehicles are higher, and their electronic control systems, battery management systems, motor control systems, etc. require a large number of PCBs to support. The PCBs in new energy electric vehicles are not only numerous, but also more complex to meet the high-performance requirements of the vehicles. In contrast, traditional fuel vehicles require less PCB usage, mainly focused on power control systems, body sensors, navigation systems, and entertainment systems.
2. There are differences in technical requirements
The PCB of new energy electric vehicles needs to meet higher technical requirements, such as high temperature resistance, vibration resistance, and high electromagnetic compatibility. This is because during the operation of new energy electric vehicles, components such as battery packs and motors generate a large amount of heat and electromagnetic radiation, which puts higher demands on the temperature resistance and electromagnetic compatibility of PCBs. At the same time, the PCB of new energy electric vehicles also needs to carry higher currents and voltages to ensure the safe and stable operation of the vehicle. Although the PCB of fuel vehicles also needs to meet certain technical requirements, the requirements are relatively low. The main power source of fuel vehicles is the engine, and their electronic control system is relatively simple, with relatively low technical requirements for PCBs.
3. There are differences in design and manufacturing processes
The PCB design and manufacturing process of new energy electric vehicles are more complex and refined. In order to meet the high-performance requirements of vehicles, the PCB of new energy electric vehicles often needs to adopt multi-layer board design, high-density interconnect technology, special materials, etc., to ensure the reliability and stability of the PCB. The PCB design and manufacturing process of gasoline powered vehicles are relatively simple, generally using single-layer or double-layer board designs, and the manufacturing process is also relatively mature and stable.
4. Cost and Value Differences
Due to the large amount of PCB used, high technical requirements, and complex design and manufacturing processes, the cost of PCB for new energy electric vehicles is relatively high. With the popularization of new energy electric vehicles and the expansion of market size, PCB suppliers are constantly innovating and controlling costs to reduce the cost of PCB for new energy electric vehicles.
The PCB cost of fuel vehicles is relatively low because of its low usage and low technical requirements. With the continuous improvement of automotive electronics and the intensification of market competition, suppliers of PCB for fuel vehicles are also constantly improving product quality and reducing costs to meet market demand.
