Advanced charging solutions for next-gen commercial EVs
Sponsored by Litttelfuse Three scenarios with dedicated power electronic solutions As the electrification of heavy-duty or commercial vehicles gains more acceptance, charging larger batteries than the ones in electric passenger cars increases in importance. Because time is money, especially in logistics, the preferred options are increasing charging power or assigning idle times for charging. These… Read more »
Manchin agrees to energy bill that could include new EV incentives
Joe Manchin is nothing if not unpredictable. He reportedly receives more money from the fossil fuel industry than any other senator, and he’s become a bête noire for fans of EVs and renewable energy. However, his opposition to new transport and energy technology is not absolute—in April, he attended a ribbon-cutting for a battery factory… Read more »
