BorgWarner’s 400V HVCH plays a crucial role in electric vehicles. It manages battery pack temperature, which directly influences charging efficiency, battery life, performance, and driving range. In cold climates, the HVCH also provides cabin heating down to temperatures as low as -40˚C. This specific HVCH application is tailored for larger SUVs and trucks with higher power density demands.
BorgWarner designed the HVCH at its Auburn Hills, Michigan technical center for streamlined customer collaboration. Importantly, the HVCH will be manufactured at its Cadillac, Michigan facility, marking the only American-made HVCH technology supplier.
BorgWarner continues to secure HVCH contracts across multiple regions. Recent wins include a European OEM’s electric vehicle platform and a light-vehicle program from a global OEM.
