Helium plays a significant role in the manufacturing process of electric vehicles (EVs). Here are some ways helium is used:

Semiconductors: Semiconductors are crucial components in EVs due to their computing capability. They enable all electronic processes, such as power and drive management, infotainment systems, autonomous driving, and even headlamps

Welding: Helium is used as a shielding gas during welding to protect welds from contamination by surrounding air, which can cause oxidation. The use of helium in welding produces high-quality, durable welds that are crucial for vehicle safety.

Leak Detection: Helium’s unique properties make it an ideal substance for leak detection in the manufacturing process.

Testing and Airbags: Helium is also used in testing components and in the deployment system of airbags.

However, it’s important to note that helium doesn’t directly power the EVs like a fuel (such as electricity or hydrogen). Instead, it’s used in the manufacturing and testing processes to ensure the quality and safety of the vehicles. Please note that helium is currently in short supply and has been added to the European Union’s 2023 list of critical raw materials.
