Power Integrations has rated its PowiGaN gallium nitride (GaN) technology at up to 2,200 V, a level the company says exceeds any other commercially available GaN. Power Integrations is aiming the technology at the main power path in high-voltage data centers, EVs, renewable energy and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) infrastructure as those systems shift to…
We all know that the commercial EV charging industry is maturing, and that EV charging is increasingly considered critical infrastructure. But what are the reasons companies are deploying charging infrastructure, and how do execs view the future of government incentives? Commercial EV charging system manufacturer BTC Power has released findings from its State of EV…
Škoda has begun series production of the Peaq, its largest electric SUV to date, marking a major milestone for the brand’s EV strategy. The new flagship rolls off the same Mladá Boleslav assembly line as the Octavia, Elroq and Enyaq - an unusual and technically demanding setup that required months of preparation and precise coordination across multiple departments. Integrating the Peaq into a... …
Battery management systems (BMS) play a key role in ensuring the safety, performance, and lifetime of modern rechargeable batteries. To maximize battery longevity, individual cells must be monitored and controlled within a narrow operating window. This requires highly accurate measurement of cell voltages and temperatures, as well as advanced balancing strategies to maintain a uniform…
comemso electronics has introduced Easy Chester Ultimate, a mobile test system for EV charging infrastructure that combines functional testing, charging communication analysis and electrical safety testing in a single unit. The company says it consolidates jobs that previously often needed several separate instruments, different operating concepts and separate documentation processes. A 10.1-inch touchscreen guides users…
Lexus is extending its push into luxury electric sedans with the return of the ES battery‑electric lineup for the 2027 model year. The Lexus ES 350e and the Lexus ES 500e carry over unchanged from their debut last year, but they arrive with the full weight of Lexus' updated design language, a new multi‑pathway platform, and a competitive EPA‑estimated driving range that reaches up to 307 miles on... …
Sponsored by Chroma. The bidirectional onboard charger (BOBC) sits at the heart of an electric vehicle’s energy architecture. BOBCs not only charge the EV battery but also enable bidirectional energy flow between the battery and the utility grid or other connected loads. Through power conversion modes like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), an EV gains…
Electrifying off-highway equipment requires engineers to use a different mindset for a fully efficient vehicle design – from battery systems and power electronics to controls, packaging, and energy management. Thermal management naturally becomes a major focus, yet one critical element is often considered only after key architectural decisions have already been made: operator climate comfort.
Public EV charging provider EVgo operates more than 1,200 DC fast charging stations in 47 states, and the company is aggressively expanding its network. The latest major deployment to be announced: over 500 new fast charging stalls at 90 shopping centers operated by the Brixmor Property Group. EVgo deployed its first charger with Brixmor in…
As EVSE, onboard chargers (OBCs) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems move from pilot programs to mainstream deployment, the AC grid interface has become the hardest part to get right—and the easiest to get wrong. Utilities, regulators, and OEMs now expect these systems to behave predictably under real grid conditions, and to disconnect safely when the grid…
UL Research Institutes’ Fire Safety Research Institute has released a new report on EV fires and suppression tactics, called “Full-Scale Electric Vehicle Fire Experiments and Recommendations for Fire Incident Response.” ULRI conducted full-scale burns of 18 vehicles (what fun!) to examine the differences and similarities between gas-vehicle and EV fires. This included 9 free burns,…
Sponsored by Parker. A key to the advancement of high energy-density, lithium-ion, battery packs is effective management of heat generated during charge and discharge cycles. Heat is often managed by connecting battery cells and/or modules to a cooling plate or pack via thermally conductive materials (gap fillers or adhesives). Typically, they are two-component polymeric resins…
