Designing Busbars for the Low-Speed-Vehicle (LSV) EV Market
September 28, 2026 10:30 am
Electrification is changing more than highway vehicles. Golf carts, utility vehicles, forklifts, and warehouse equipment are packing higher currents and more electrical features into tight spaces, making the power path harder to design around a conventional cable harness.
A well-designed busbar can provide a compact, repeatable connection, but its performance depends on more than conductor size. Storm Power’s latest industry spotlight looks at the electrical, thermal, and mechanical decisions that help these vehicles operate reliably over time.
In the full document, you’ll learn:
- Why peak current and duty cycle matter when sizing a busbar.
- How to weigh copper versus aluminum for space, weight, and cost.
- Where flexible connections help manage vibration and thermal cycling.
- What to consider for joints, plating, insulation, and production repeatability.
