Ten unhurried days on the Norwegian Scenic Route Geiranger-Trollstigen. Cloud snags on the eleven hairpins above Isterdalen, then the fjord opens like a dark hall and the Seven Sisters fall in white threads. Short driving days, ferries, and Tesla or Recharge stops in Alesund, Andalsnes, and Stryn keep the battery honest in the climbs.
Chroma has added a charge playback function to its PowerPro 5 test software, letting engineers replay CAN (Controller Area Network) communication data captured from real charging sessions through the Chroma 8000 test system. Chroma says the function complies with GB/T 27930, and it reproduces a recorded session on the bench for validation and debugging. Chargers…
Swiss dairy company Emmi Schweiz has deployed three electrified refrigerated trailers from Nivalis Energy Europe as part of its efforts to reduce emissions from its refrigerated transport fleet. Now operating on live distribution routes, the trailers power their energy-intensive refrigeration systems using dedicated battery systems, preserving the e-trucks’ battery capacity for driving. One of Switzerland’s…
Japanese luxury brand Lexus is preparing to launch its first next-generation electric vehicle at a completely new manufacturing plant in Shanghai. According to the reputable analytical publication Nikkei Asia, mass production of the vehicle is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2027. The new model is being developed with the Chinese domestic market in mind...
Electric cars may lose value faster than comparable gasoline cars, but this doesn’t close the discussion on cost-effectiveness. After 100,000 kilometers in 5 years, the difference in fuel and energy costs ranges from about 19,000 to 27,000 zł in favor of EVs, depending on the charging method.
The BYD Atto 2 Comfort version, priced at 132,300 zł gross, turned out to be a well-developed car for daily driving and longer trips. It performed well in terms of energy consumption, charging, and system quality during testing, though regenerative braking still falls short.
The launch of a new all-electric California family, with additional models, will begin in early 2027 at a price of over 60,000 euros. The article “World Premiere ID. California Cruise: The First All-Electric VW Camper” first appeared on Elektroauto-News.net.
Ten days on the Norwegian Scenic Route Lofoten, from the Bodo ferry or the E10 at Lodingen to the village of A. Stockfish racks, granite walls, and a sea that keeps changing its mind. Distances are short; Tesla Superchargers in Svolvaer and Leknes plus Recharge in Reine make the islands easy in an EV if you do not chase every side road on an empty battery.
As EV adoption accelerates, battery safety is more important than ever. In this presentation, we introduce Mactac CleanTape® FR, a portfolio of non-halogenated flame-retardant adhesive tapes designed to help manufacturers improve battery pack safety while addressing critical engineering and assembly challenges. Join us to explore EV battery fire risks, key safety standards, flame-retardant tape applications,…
Generational, a UK-based EV battery diagnostics company, has published an analysis of cell-level data from approximately 10,000 used-EV battery tests run through hundreds of dealers across the UK. The median vehicle showed 8 mV between its highest and lowest cell voltages, but around one in 85 tests showed an imbalance above 50 mV, and around…
ChargeZone operates a public EV charging network with more than 15,000 charging points across 1,200 locations in India and the UAE. The company supports electric passenger and commercial vehicles, and works with automotive manufacturers including Tata, Hyundai, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW and VinFast. Now ChargeZone has expanded its existing partnership with intercity bus operator Fresh Bus.
The Mercedes EQS 450+ features a new 800-Volt powertrain, increased battery capacity, and a steer-by-wire steering system for the first time. We tested it. The article Mercedes EQS 450+: Last Chance for the Electric S-Class first appeared on Elektroauto-News.net.
Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced the TMCS2100-Q1, a coreless Hall-effect current sensor for hybrid and electric vehicle traction inverters that measures the magnetic field around a conductor in both the horizontal and vertical directions rather than on a single axis. The company says displacement error is less than 1% at 0.4 mm of movement and…
As battery-electric commercial vehicles continue to evolve, engineers face growing challenges in designing power distribution architectures that are scalable, efficient, and easy to integrate. Traditional vehicle architectures often require multiple components for switching, protection, monitoring, communications, and control, increasing system complexity, validation effort, and development time. Modular, integrated approaches can help simplify vehicle design while…
