Abstract
Summary An electric vehicle has more electronic parts than a gasoline-powered vehicle. Not only the control circuits but also the driving circuits of electric vehicles are electrical, in contrast to those of gasoline-powered vehicles. This means that there is a higher possibility of malfunctions in an electric vehicle due to electromagnetic disturbances caused by a lightning stroke. Therefore, it is important to establish lightning protection methodologies for electric vehicles. To clear up with the mechanisms whereby the lightning current following through the vehicle body and some other parts causes the malfunctions, it is important to clarify the transient magnetic fields and current distributions in electric vehicles. In this paper, the transient magnetic fields and the current distributions in an electric vehicle are simulated by the FDTD method, and the probability of lightning damage is discussed.
