Orange Nylon Colorants for High-Voltage Electric Vehicle (EV) Connectors The electric vehicle (EV) industry is growing rapidly as governments worldwide encourage sustainable energy.
One of the critical components inside an EV is the charging connector, which comprises high-voltage parts that deliver power to the vehicle’s battery.
A cautionary orange color is often used in EVs to distinguish high-voltage power connectors and cables from other parts.
