MAIN COMPONENTS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Main Components of Electric
Vehicle
On-Board Charger (OBC) : A device
that charges the high voltage battery
by converting AC power from a
charging station to DC power. Inverter
: A device that transforms direct
current (DC) from the high voltage
battery into alternating current (AC)
to supply power to the electric motor
and transforms AC back into DC when
available to charge the high voltage
battery.
LDC : An LDC is a Low Voltage DC-to-
DC converter that transforms power
from the high voltage battery to the
low voltage battery (12V) in order
to supply electrical power to the
vehicle to operate the lights, wipers,
multimedia, etc.
Electric Motor : A device that
converts electrical energy from the
high voltage battery into mechanical
energy which is then transferred as
rotational torque to the wheels in
order to drive the vehicle.
Reduction gear : Delivers rotational
force of the motor to the tires at
appropriate speeds and torque.
EV Battery (Lithium-ion) : On board
high voltage storage device with a
capacity up to 64 kWh
OBC : On-Board Charger
LDC : Low Voltage DC-DC Converter

WARNING
Do not intentionally remove
or disassemble high voltage
components and high voltage
battery connectors and wires. Also,
be careful not to damage high
voltage components and the high
voltage battery. It may cause serious
injury and significantly impact the
performance and durability of the
vehicle.
When inspection and maintenance
is required for high voltage
components and the high voltage
battery, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
