As the world accelerates ever faster toward electrification, one material is quietly powering the shift: plastics.

We talk often about the major advantages of plastics in the auto industry, but in the EV world they’re even more important for performance, safety, and sustainability.

EV batteries are heavy (often 300-600 kg), so the smartest automakers are turning to plastics to offset that weight. Despite making up less than 10% of a vehicle’s weight, plastics account for over 50% of its volume, helping extend range and reduce energy consumption.

Plastics are also high-performance. Consider this: they can absorb up to 4x more crash energy than steel, enhancing passenger protection in collisions and showing again why they are a wonderful material!

They’re also used in battery casings that must withstand extreme heat and impact, and with their thermal & electrical insulation they’re ideal for high-voltage applications, thermal management and fire resistance, making them more than just a nice choice but actually an essential component for EV battery systems and power electronics.

As EV adoption surges, the role of plastics is expanding throughout the vehicle body to the charging station. To keep pace with such rapid growth, it's critical to work with experts from the industry who can not only produce parts, but advise on the best materials, the best designs and the best approach for success.
