In Luyang city, Fujian province, the presentation of China’s largest electric-powered mining truck was held...
While cobalt-free, high-nickel cathode batteries such as manganese-coated nickel core batteries have emerged as a potential method to increase EV driving range while reducing dependence on expensive critical minerals, research suggests that exposing precursor material to air can cause subtle chemical changes that later accelerate battery degradation. A study at Hanyang University in South Korea…
Exicom has started manufacturing liquid-cooled AC and DC power modules at its Hyderabad Smart Manufacturing Facility, and says it is the first company in India to build this class of power electronics for global markets. The first modules are destined mainly for North America and Europe, where they will go into Tritium’s DC charger portfolio,…
Like all governments that have enacted pro-EV policies, the UK government is under constant pressure from automakers and other vested interests to water those policies down. The UK has enacted a ZEV Mandate, which stipulates (as the government’s official web site describes it) that “new petrol and diesel cars will be phased out by 2030…
Yokogawa Test & Measurement has announced two AC/DC split core current sensors, the CT500SA and CT200SA, for measuring current on cables that can’t be cut to thread through a through-hole sensor. The second-generation models cover the 500 A and 200 A ranges, clamp directly onto a conductor and are built for space-constrained environments such as…
The anti-EV crowd has an endless repertoire of specious arguments designed to convince EV-curious drivers to continue burning gas just a little longer. One of these is the idea that, because building a new car has a carbon footprint, it’s greener to hang on to your old gas car than to replace it with a…
