Bearings in EVs are specialized components designed to handle high rotational speeds, electrical currents, and thermal stresses unique to electric drivetrains. Innovations include ceramic hybrid bearings, magnetic bearings, and advanced lubrication systems. Benefits include improved efficiency, reduced maintenance, and extended lifespan of motors and gearboxes. Companies like SKF, Schaeffler, NSK, and NTN are leading development, supported by patents in noise reduction and energy efficiency.
