What Role Does Thermistor Play In Electric Vehicles

Jul. 07, 2023

Thermistor is a type of sensitive electronic components made of semiconductor materials that has high sensitivity to temperature. Its resistance value can change with temperature changes. 


Electric vehicles refer to vehicles powered by vehicle-mounted power supplies and motor-driven wheels that meet the requirements of road traffic and traffic regulations. Electric vehicles are a major aspect of new energy and energy-saving development.


In electric vehicles, thermistors play an important role. Let's take a look at what role thermistors play in electric vehicles.


First, thermistors are used in electric vehicles for temperature checking and control. Components such as batteries, motors, and chargers in electric vehicles need to be kept working within a suitable temperature range. Too high or too low temperatures will affect their performance and service life. The thermistor can monitor temperature changes and feed back to the vehicle control system in time for temperature regulation and protection to ensure the stable operation of each component.

Second, the thermistor plays a protective role in electric vehicles. It should be known that although electric vehicles are green and environmentally friendly, there are also many battery explosion accidents. The battery system of electric vehicles has certain risks, such as overcharging, over-discharging, and overheating, which may cause serious accidents. The thermistor is used in the battery system of electric vehicles, which can monitor the temperature state of the battery in real time. When the temperature rises abnormally, it will take timely measures for protection and early warning to avoid accidents.


In addition, thermistors can also be used for environmental monitoring in electric vehicles. Electric vehicles will be affected by different environmental conditions during driving, such as temperature and humidity. By using thermistors, the changes in the environment can be sensed in real time, and the information can be fed back to the vehicle control system so that corresponding adjustments and optimizations can be made to improve the performance and comfort of the vehicle.


Thermistors play multiple roles in electric vehicles such as temperature inspection and control, protection, and environmental monitoring. Without thermistors, electric vehicles cannot regulate and protect by checking for temperature changes and making adjustments accordingly.
