What components of an electric vehicle are considered high voltage?

The high-voltage battery pack

The traction battery pack

The on-board charger

All of the above

1 answer

All of the above components can be considered high voltage in an electric vehicle.

  1. High-voltage battery pack: This is the main battery used to store energy and typically operates at high voltage levels, often between 200 to 800 volts, depending on the vehicle design.

  2. Traction battery pack: This term is often used interchangeably with the high-voltage battery pack, as it refers specifically to the battery that powers the electric motor. It also operates at high voltage.

  3. On-board charger: This component converts AC power from the grid to DC power to charge the high-voltage battery. It usually handles high voltage levels as well.

Therefore, the correct answer is: All of the above.
