Addressing the Major Challenges for EV Chargers
Electric vehicles define the future of sustainability in the automotive industry. Therefore, the electric vehicle market demands supporting charging infrastructure across power classes and global regions. EV charging stations, also known as EVSE, supply electrical power for charging plug-in electric vehicles and present major efficiency and reliability concerns. From heat generation and insulation issues to maintenance and cost reduction, the need for materials with optimized resistance and mechanical properties increases as electric vehicles become mainstream.
The industry requires technological advances that enable faster charging speeds, reliability, and durability.

In today’s electric vehicle charger market, reliability and durability are key to avoiding costly downtimes and unsafe operating conditions. Critical components in EV chargers rely on our innovative materials to perform at their best. Our solutions deliver highly sought-after performance benefits to critical usages in the EV charger market, including charging plugs and inner power electronics. Additionally, our materials are renowned for their thermal management properties to create safe and stable conditions during EV charging.
Inner Power Electronics
With a need for thermal dissipation and high dielectric insulation for HVDC superchargers, inner power electronics are critical components that ensure the proper operation of an EV charger. Amodel® PPA, Amodel® Supreme, Amodel® Bios PPA, and Veradel® PESU grant thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, flame retardancy, structural rigidity and dimensional stability in environments with or without HV. Additionally, Omnix® HPPA offers the best quality to cost compromise for enhanced durability and life cost reduction of inner fixing elements.
Thermal Management
As one of the most critical requirements in EV chargers, pumps, manifolds, system tubing and connectors must all display thermal efficiency and reliability to guarantee proper operation. Polymer materials like Ryton® PPS, Amodel® PPA and Radel® PPSU ensure EV charger components demonstrate superior thermal conductivity, enhanced chemical compatibility and insulation.
Charging Plugs
Charging plugs and sockets have resistance requirements against V0 flames, impact, UV, oils and more —even exposure to high voltage requirements. Materials such as Amodel® PPA and Omnix® HPPA enable a more robust and safer performance by being the best in class for thermal shock properties, having a lower water uptake and almost complete retention of CTI over time at high temperatures.
