The Role of Fasteners in Electric Vehicle (EV) Manufacturing

Keywords: EV fasteners, lightweight fasteners, automotive

The rise of Electric Vehicles brings unique challenges for fasteners. They must often be lightweight to maximize range, yet strong enough to handle battery pack weight and motor vibrations. Corrosion resistance is critical due to potential exposure to road salts and chemicals. Additionally, many fasteners in EVs require electrical isolation properties. This drives innovation in materials like aluminum alloys and specialized coatings, making fastener selection a critical part of EV design and safety.
