As the global electric vehicle (EV) industry accelerates, automakers are rethinking every part of the vehicle—from batteries to dashboards—to enhance performance, comfort, and sustainability. One often-overlooked area that plays a vital role in this transformation is metal stamped components used in EVs. These seemingly simple parts—brackets, clips, supports, and panel enclosures—are key to both aesthetics and safety. At Isht Enterprises, we specialize in precision metal stamping for interior assemblies that meet the demands of modern EV platforms.
Why Component Quality Matters More in EVs
Unlike internal combustion vehicles, EVs are quieter. This means rattles, vibration, and assembly misfits in the interior are much more noticeable to drivers. Precision matters more than ever.
Stamped parts in dashboards, infotainment systems, HVAC panels, center consoles, and glove compartments serve critical functions:
Structural support for plastic fascia and touchscreen interfaces
Mounting brackets for sensors, circuit boards, and switches
Reinforcement plates for load-bearing elements like glove box hinges or console lids
Trim support frames that maintain aesthetic fit and finish
Stamping Techniques That Deliver Precision
We use high-tonnage progressive and compound dies that deliver consistent results for complex part geometries. Here's how we ensure quality:
1. Tight Tolerances
We routinely manufacture parts with tolerances as tight as ±0.05 mm, which ensures perfect alignment with interior plastic parts and clips.
2. Material Selection for Aesthetics and Strength
We use a variety of materials depending on function:
Mild steel for mounting brackets
Stainless steel for corrosion-prone areas
Aluminum alloys for lightweight support in EV dashboards
Each material is selected based on the load conditions, surface finish requirements, and cost efficiency.
3. Surface Treatment and Coatings
Interior parts require coatings that enhance both durability and aesthetics:
Powder coating for visible brackets
Nickel or zinc plating for corrosion resistance
Deburring and polishing for edge safety and clean fit
Real-World Application: Center Console Bracket Assembly
In one of our recent projects with a Tier-1 automotive supplier, we delivered a two-part bracket system for a center console lid that required:
±0.03 mm alignment between mating holes
A brushed finish for corrosion resistance
Cycle-tested durability across 10,000 opening/closing operations
Our team developed the tooling in-house, which reduced lead time by 22% and helped our client avoid costly redesigns.
In-House Tooling = Better Cost and Faster Development
We design and build custom dies and fixtures for every high-volume part we make. This not only improves turnaround but also allows for:
Faster prototyping and first article approval
On-site die maintenance
Long tool life, reducing part cost over time
Testing & Validation
Before parts go into mass production, we carry out the following:
Fitment testing with OEM mating parts
Salt spray testing for corrosion
Vibration testing to simulate real-world driving conditions
Cycle life testing for moving assemblies
This gives OEMs and Tier-1 clients the confidence that our stamped components meet both regulatory and end-user expectations.
EV interiors are getting smarter, lighter, and more sophisticated. That means the components behind the scenes must rise to the challenge. At Isht Enterprises, we combine precision tooling, material science, and deep automotive know-how to deliver interior stamped components that perform and last.
Whether you’re building the next-generation infotainment system or need robust bracket assemblies for an EV cabin, we can help you scale production with confidence.
