Early trends in the thermal management market for EVs largely revolved around the adoption of active cooling for the battery pack; now this is the industry standard. However, batteries, motors, and power electronics in EVs continue to evolve with developments of cell-to-pack designs, directly oil-cooled motors, and silicon carbide power electronics being just a few of the key trends that will impact thermal management strategies. How this all interacts with the cabin thermal management is equally important, with thermal architectures becoming more integrated and impending regulations impacting future refrigerant choices.
This newly-released report from IDTechEx, "Thermal Management for Electric Vehicles 2026-2036: Materials, Markets, and Technologies", analyses the EV market and the thermal management strategies adopted by OEMs and their suppliers, with a look to the future and how key EV technology trends will impact these methods for electric vehicle batteries, motors, power electronics, and cabin thermal management. This information is obtained from primary and secondary sources across the EV industry. The research also utilizes IDTechEx's extensive electric car database which consists of over 700 model variants with their sales figures for 2015-2024 plus technical specifications such as battery capacity, battery thermal strategy, motor power, motor cooling strategy, and many others. Market shares are given for existing thermal management strategies (air, oil, water, immersion) and fluids used (water-glycol, oil, immersion), for the battery, motor, and inverter in EVs along with market forecasts to 2036.
