Commercial EV provider RIZON has introduced a new service combo body for its electric truck. “Combining secure tool storage and a spacious cargo bed, the highly configurable service combo body can be equipped with cranes, ladder racks, generators, lift gates and work lighting to support a wide range of vocational applications,” the company tells us.
GÖPEL electronic has released a battery cell tester that evaluates up to five battery cells at the same time. The modular, configurable device runs standard safety and functional tests on individual cells for quality assurance of high-voltage EV batteries, in both development and production. The tester covers standard safety measurements. The Open Circuit Voltage (OCV)…
Toray Industries has developed a resin-film substrate for anode current collectors in lithium-ion batteries that it says is the first to meet all four key material requirements at once: resistance to oxidation and reduction, adhesion to the metal layer, mechanical strength and thermal stability. Toray says the film lets battery makers swap the copper foil…
Saint-Gobain researchers have developed predictive models for accurately forecasting the mechanical behaviour of compression pads in battery packs. Lithium-ion cells exhibit expansion and contraction during charge and discharge... The post Compression pads to extend battery performance appeared first on E-Mobility Engineering.
Magnachip Semiconductor is moving into the high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage silicon carbide market by licensing Navitas Semiconductor’s GeneSiC technology. The license covers Navitas’ Gen 4 and Gen 5 GeneSiC Trench-Assisted Planar (TAP) technologies at 1,200 V, 2,300 V, 3,300 V and higher. GeneSiC came to Navitas through its August 2022 acquisition of GeneSiC Semiconductor. Charged covered…
EnerSys will dedicate the lithium cell factory it plans to build in Greenville, South Carolina, to developing and manufacturing cells for aerospace and defense applications and for specialized industrial applications that EnerSys says require a US-based supply chain. The company says the facility is intended to supply foreign entity of concern (FEOC) compliant lithium-ion cells…
Empower EIT, a vertically integrated lithium technology and operating company, has begun operation of its direct lithium extraction (DLE) and conversion process at its new new 17,000-square-foot facility in Dallas. The process turns extracted lithium chloride into battery-grade lithium carbonate. The company is aiming to make its first commercial sales in 2027. Empower EIT ran…
Sponsored by ITECH. As EV platforms push from 400 V to 800 V and beyond 1,000 V, engineers are facing a growing gap between charging capability and what can be safely tested in real-world conditions. This whitepaper unpacks the concept of “validation anxiety” and the risks tied to reliability, lifecycle performance, and grid interaction. It…
Easelink’s Matrix Charging system enables automated conductive charging of EVs. This capability is not just about convenience—it facilitates various commercial EV applications and lays the groundwork for future autonomous mobility solutions. It also makes it easier to integrate EVs into V2G applications and other smart energy systems. Now Easelink has partnered with global automotive supplier…
Researchers in Scotland have demonstrated a 100 kW fully superconducting axial flux motor for aviation. The prototype system was created by the Applied Superconductivity Laboratory (ASL) at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow...
