In Germany, all Mercedes-Benz plants will be supplied with CO 2 -neutral energy. The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources.

Power generation by means of braking energy recuperation, where the electric motor plays the role of a generator, works particularly effectively. The electric energy channelled into the high-voltage battery either in this way or when plugged into the power grid also feeds the 12-volt on-board power supply.

Despite supply constraints and COVID-19, global EV sales in the first half of 2021 showed a 160% increase over the same period in 2020 — and 2020 itself was a banner year for EVs. The US federal government offers up to $7,500 in tax credits for qualifying plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), and California announced a $3.9 Looking ahead.

Transitioning our transportation infrastructure to a fully electric model is an urgent task. Yet it places unprecedented demand on our electrical grid. Just to drive 100 miles, the average electric vehicle (EV) uses the same amount of electricity that it takes to power a typical U.S. home for a day.

The power electronics are effectively a link that controls the flow of high-voltage energy between the motor and the battery. The power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC). Meanwhile, a DC/DC converter supplies the onboard electronics with 12-volt power.
