Leading Venting Solutions for High-Voltage EV Applications
Engineer Safer, More Reliable High-Voltage EVs with Gore.
Proven Venting Solutions for Electric Vehicle Reliability
High-voltage EV systems face continuous stress from heat, moisture and pressure that can quickly degrade components, compromising performance and safety. Rapid temperature fluctuations can cause significant pressure differentials inside sealed enclosures—leading to engine control units (ECU) overheating or unwanted condensation within powertrain systems.
Gore understands these challenges from the inside out, delivering engineered venting and protection solutions that keep batteries and electronics protected, efficient and road ready.
Engineered for Unfailing Protection
Gore combines decades of advanced materials science with deep automotive expertise to enhance system durability and reduce total cost of ownership for next-generation EVs. From oversized housings to the smallest ECUs, GORE® Automotive Vents address critical challenges including:
- Moisture Ingress Protection
- Pressure Equalization
- Cleanliness Compliance
- Long Term Reliability

Other High-Voltage Venting Solutions for Electric Vehicles
Cleanliness Compliance Options
Lab-certified to ISO 16232 and VDA 19.1 standards for superior particulate control and electrical reliability.
New Super High Airflow Vent
Ideal for large battery packs, this series offers 3x more airflow, simplifies design, and maintains robust moisture protection.
Application-Driven Designs for High Voltage Reliability
Battery Packs
In large battery packs, GORE® Automotive Vents do more than just equalize pressure from thermal cycling. They are engineered to help manage gas release, providing dual protection that prevents enclosure swelling and seal failure to safeguard the pack's integrity and longevity.
Power Control Units, Inverters and Converters
Thermal cycles in power electronics create vacuums that draw in moisture, risking condensation on circuit boards. GORE® Automotive Vents quickly equalize pressure, protecting sensitive components and ensuring stable performance essential for vehicle control.
Onboard Chargers
As the critical link to the grid, onboard chargers must perform flawlessly. GORE® Automotive Vents protect against road spray, salt, and high-pressure washing, preventing ingress-related failures to ensure charging is always reliable and efficient.
Electric Motors, Traction Motors, Transmissions and E-axles
The rapid pressure changes from high-speed operation can fatigue seals over time. GORE® Automotive Vents react instantly to these fluctuations, protecting critical mechanical components like bearings and gears from the threat of moisture-induced corrosion.
ADAS and Autonomous Driving Systems
For the optical systems in ADAS, reliability is non-negotiable. Our Cleanliness Protected GORE® Automotive Vents align with ISO 16232 and VDA 19.1 standards, ensuring that cameras, sensors, and radar remain free of particles and condensation.
