The use of adhesives in electric vehicles (EVs) is even more widespread than in conventional automobiles. In both types of vehicles, adhesives offer many advantages, including ease of use compared to welding, environmental resistance, sealing, distributing stress, and joining dissimilar materials.
The advantages of adhesives specific to EVs include weight reduction, thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, friable adhesives, bonding composites, and the ability to bond low-surface-energy (LSE) plastics. As the EV market evolves and develops, adhesive manufacturers expand product lines and create new technologies to meet these needs. The drive to create vehicles with a more extensive range fuels the innovation.
