Eight days from Zurich over the Julier into St. Moritz, then the Bernina Pass running beside the UNESCO red train down to Tirano. You drop into Chiavenna’s stone streets and the Como shore before looping home through Lugano. Lago Bianco at the summit is the picture you came for.
Sweden’s automotive brand has carried out a major redesign of its best-selling XC60 and XC90 models, equipping them with powerful batteries and Google Gemini artificial intelligence. For more details, visit Autocentre.ua.
By Max VanRaaphorst, Avery Dennison. The transition toward electrification has boosted the demand for high-performance batteries, which in turn has accelerated the need for scalable thermal management solutions. This is especially true as the industry pushes for higher density and faster charging, both of which heighten the effects of faults such as thermal runaway. Finding…
LG Energy Solution has signed a binding offtake agreement with Smackover Lithium, a partnership between Standard Lithium and Equinor, for 8,000 metric tonnes of battery-quality lithium carbonate annually over a 10-year period. The lithium will come from the South West Arkansas Project, and LG says the contract gives it a fully integrated local supply chain…
It all started with an idea from two Škoda employees—Marek Jež and Jakub Krs—a question about how far the new electric seven-seater Škoda Peaq could travel on a single charge from its 91 kWh battery. To find out, they drove from Mladá Boleslav to the Netherlands. The production version of the Škoda Peaq covered 936 km without recharging. The record-breaking trip was monitored by the certification body TÜV SÜD. “We wanted to demonstrate…”
Day 1 of the Charged Virtual Conference on EV Engineering: 3 free live sessions starting at 10:30 AM EDT, from Sensata Technologies, Parker Lord, Intertek. Register to join live or watch the recordings.
EV battery diagnostics specialist AVILOO has released what it calls “the world’s largest independent study of battery health in used electric vehicles.” The latest edition of the AVILOO Certified EV Battery Report analyses over 500,000 individual, independent tests carried out on used EVs between 2022 and 2026, covering 20 popular EV models. “The findings carry…
Nine days on the historic Great Dolomites Road from Bolzano toward Cortina. You overnight in Ortisei, Canazei, and Cortina so Lake Carezza, Passo Pordoi’s 33 hairpins, Alpe di Siusi, and Tre Cime sit on the drive, not as side quests. The rock turns pink at evening; that is why you came.
The Geely E2 is a solid city crossover for an affordable price – is the 20,000-euro model sufficient for Geely in Europe? The article “Geely E2 Max im Test: Preiswerter Einstieg” first appeared on Elektroauto-News.net.
With the B03X, Leapmotor introduces the first electric crossover to the German market priced under 25,000 euros, challenging established competitors. The article “Test Report: Leapmotor B03X Outperforms BYD, Fiat, and Opel” first appeared on Elektroauto-News.net.
As the electric counterpart to the VW ID Cross, the Skoda Epiq 55 brings proven group technology to the entry-level segment, albeit at a substantial price. The article “Test Report Škoda Epiq 55: Good, but not exactly cheap” first appeared on Elektroauto-News.net.
Ten-Nine Technologies is scaling up production of TENIX, a cathode additive designed to stop the chemical decomposition that saps a battery’s performance as it ages. The additive is blended into cathode material during manufacturing at 0.5–2% of the cathode’s weight. That works out to roughly 0.5–2 kg for every 100 kg of cathode, about the…
Sensata Technologies has introduced the OmniNode, a patent-pending, off-the-shelf high-voltage power distribution unit for battery-electric commercial vehicles. It combines DC charging, switching, circuit protection, sensing, diagnostics and communications in a single system, built from Sensata components including contactors, fuses and current sensors. The OmniNode is designed for on- and off-road commercial vehicles, including Class 5…
Is the charging station safe and fully functional? Extrusion and co-extrusion can provide a cost-effective solution for producing long, continuous, or complex profiles, particularly when the tooling and production costs associated with processes such as molding may not be economically practical. These processes can also integrate multiple functions into a single component, including sealing, thermal…
