with a fascinatingly dynamic driving force
Today, more than half a million electric and hybrid cars equipped with technology from Bosch are already on the road all over the world and several thousand Bosch employees are involved in the area of electromobility. In the video, Martin Avecedo explains why electric drives represent the future of mobility and the role his personal enthusiasm plays in his job.
To enable electromobility to reveal its enormous potential for everyday mobility which saves resources and offers maximum driving fun at the same time, Bosch is intensively pushing the development of all relevant technologies. Over and beyond the highly efficient and compact components for e-powertrains themselves, Bosch is also optimizing energy flows within the vehicle as a whole.
This includes the recuperation of released energy using regenerative braking systems but also highly effective air-conditioning of the vehicle. As the waste heat from the combustion engine is no longer available, for example, new solutions are applied which offer full air-conditioning comfort even in electric vehicles.

Bosch is driving electromobility forward beyond vehicles themselves and is connecting the charging infrastructure. Drivers wanting to charge their electric cars often have to register with many different charge spot operators. The charging app from Bosch Software Innovations puts an end to this annoyance. The idea: 17,400 charge spots, 5 countries, and one app. The app gives customers access to bundled services and a convenient payment method for the charging process. With this solution, Bosch makes the charging infrastructure for e-mobility even more user-friendly. Integrating the application into the vehicle display is yet another step toward achieving holistic connectivity for mobility solutions.
