Twelve days on Kystriksveien, the Norwegian Scenic Route Helgelandskysten: six ferries, Torghatten, the Seven Sisters, then Bodo. An alternative to the E6 with Tesla in Trondheim, Mo i Rana and Bodo and Recharge in Bronnoysund. Daily hops stay under 200 km because the ferries eat the clock, not the battery.
Microgrids are a hot topic these days, and with good reason—supporting EV charging infrastructure with battery storage, on-site generation and V2X technology can overcome grid constraints and reduce costs. Cenex has published new research detailing how DC-coupled smart energy hubs can help organisations accelerate fleet electrification while unlock substantial energy savings, lower peak demand and…
The Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) has selected AmpUp to develop a managed EV charging program in collaboration with the state’s electric utilities. The agency evaluated four pilots in Cycle 1 of the state’s Innovative Energy Solutions (IES) Program, and selected AmpUp’s Adapt & Earn managed charging project for deployment at scale. PURA has…
Chinese EVs are headed for Canada. The country has set an initial annual quota of 49,000 Chinese-made EVs, and this will increase to 70,000 within five years. A share of the quota is reserved for vehicles priced below CA$35,000. EVSearch, a Canadian electric vehicle research and discovery platform, has added a new section to its…
In the world of electrification, battery technology is often cited as the area with greatest opportunity for development. Improvements over recent decades have been clear to see, with EV ranges increasing year on year... The post In conversation: Jim Edwards appeared first on E-Mobility Engineering.
Texas Instruments (TI) has developed a 28 channel battery management chip with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to monitor state of health. “One issue is lack of visibility into the battery cell and engineers have long struggled...

Ford and Geely Auto have set the stage for one of the most significant industrial shifts in Europe's automotive sector this decade, announcing a new joint venture that will turn Ford's Valencia, Spain, plant into a shared manufacturing hub for next‑generation multi‑energy vehicles. The partnership, revealed on July 23, 2026, aims to secure the long‑term future of the facility, boost... …
Twelve days from Biarritz to Carcassonne via Gavarnie, Cauterets, and the high cols that open in summer. Tesla and Ionity in the valleys; mountain days 200-280 km. Cirque de Gavarnie is a walk from the car park charger.
Manufacturing an EV powertrain with a permanent magnet synchronous motor or an induction motor requires fusion of precise metallurgy, high-speed automation and stringent thermal-electrical isolation. Optimising this process... The post E-motor production technology appeared first on E-Mobility Engineering.
Researchers in Korea have developed a sandwiched magnet that improves the cooling for high-power motors in vehicles and electric shipping. The research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) developed... The post Improved cooling for high-power electric motors appeared first on E-Mobility Engineering.
A thermal interface material (TIM) has a deceptively simple job: to fill the microscopic air gaps between a heat source and a heat sink and allow thermal energy to flow. For decades, this was typically done by a... The post Thermal interface materials appeared first on E-Mobility Engineering.
Changing regulations are requiring changes to the sealing materials used for high-voltage battery housings. In the event of thermal runaway, high-voltage battery systems can, among other things, generate corrosive gases...

⚡ 1700 km one way, 4500 km total—and no worries about range at all! Is traveling by electric car to the French Riviera crazy? We packed 4 people and 250 kg of luggage, charged our Kia e-SOUL (64 kWh) with positive energy, and set off from Skawina near Kraków straight for Saint-Tropez! We passed through Slovakia, Austria, Italy, until we reached this French paradise. Along the way, we visited Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Eze, and the stunning lavender fields in Valensole. How much did it cost? The entire trip totaled around 1111 zł (259 EUR). For comparison, diesel would cost at least 2150…
Volkswagen has opened pre‑sales for the newest addition to its electric urban lineup: the ID. Polo equipped with a 37‑kWh battery. Designed as an affordable entry point into electric mobility, the new variant offers a WLTP range of up to 334 km and is optimized for daily commuting and city driving. The 37‑kWh model arrives just weeks after the launch of the 52‑kWh ID. Polo and is aimed at... …
