The future BEV systems will be required lots of heavy loads and safety system with 12V legacy power. Generally BEV has double layer power structure, but when OEMs adapt zonal architecture the system requires triple layer power with additional 48V. The most of DC-DC converters in vehicle have standard power rate, it's simple to increase power demand by add one or two dc-dc converters in vehicle, it’s possible but how we can deal the volume of dc-dc converters and wire harness in system.
