Optimization of Electric Car Engine Braking System Design by Using Composite Materials to Improve Efficiency and Safety

Abstract

The development of electric vehicles (EVs) requires innovation in braking system design to improve energy efficiency and safety. The use of composite materials, which have high strength and light weight, can be a solution to optimize braking performance and reduce energy consumption in electric vehicles. This research aims to optimize the design of braking systems in electric vehicles by using composite materials to improve efficiency and safety. The research method employed in this study is a qualitative approach, specifically a literature review. The use of composite materials in electric vehicle braking systems can improve vehicle efficiency and safety by reducing weight and replacing hazardous materials such as asbestos and copper. While it offers advantages such as increased strength and resistance to high temperatures, the main challenges to overcome are production costs and the complexity of the manufacturing process.
