Engineering specialist IAV and semiconductor firm Nexperia have developed a lab-validated concept called ONE Inverter that uses software-defined control and bidirectional GaN switching to manage individual battery sections rather than treating a pack as a single unit. In conventional series-string battery architectures, every cell must carry the same current, meaning the pack’s effective capacity is… Read more »
Knowles has extended its X1/Y2 safety-certified MLCC line with a new 3825 case size, offering capacitance values from 1 nF to 18 nF, voltage ratings from 310 VAC to 660 VAC depending on part selection, and a minimum 7 mm creepage distance for high-voltage isolation in compact PCB layouts. The parts are rated for 1500… Read more »
PHYTEC is presenting a modular electronics toolkit for EV charging and energy management, aimed at manufacturers who want to build custom charge controllers without committing to a closed hardware-software stack. The offering covers both AC and DC charging applications. The core hardware component is a custom carrier board platform built around the chargebyte Charge SOM,… Read more »
Colorado has become the first US state to make automakers and battery manufacturers responsible for managing batteries at the end of their useful lives. The Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 26-003, which expands the state’s Battery Stewardship Act to include electrified vehicle batteries, in May. Governor Jared Polis signed the bill into law in… Read more »
Sany is known as one of China’s largest heavy machinery manufacturers. The company also makes long-haul electric trucks, and it is now targeting the European market. Sany acquired German concrete pump specialist Putzmeister in 2012, and it is already established in Europe’s construction machinery market. Sany has begun marketing its e263 electric semi-truck in Europe,… Read more »
The biggest EV story of 2026 is the explosive pace of EV adoption in the countries auto analysts tend to call “Rest of World.” From Africa to Asia to Latin America, drivers are increasingly choosing EVs. However, the vast majority of the EVs (along with a lot of gas-burners) are made in China. In Mexico,… Read more »
Sponsored by Lider Electric.Lider Electric’s NEMA 14-50 receptacles with Electric Vehicle Marking combine certification-backed product identification with purpose-built EV charging design. EV charging reliability is often discussed at the system level: charger output, vehicle compatibility, software, utility capacity, and public infrastructure. Those factors matter, but many residential and light commercial charging setups still depend on… Read more »
Dukosi, A123 Systems and Nuvation Energy have released a joint design brief for an end-to-end battery energy storage system proof of concept that includes A123’s 587 Ah large-format LFP prismatic cells with Dukosi’s contactless cell monitoring system, and Nuvation’s utility-grade BMS. The reference platform is built for North American BESS project developers and system integrators… Read more »
Belgian battery startup SOLiTHOR has published a technical update showing that its sol-gel Solid Composite Electrolyte has reached 465 Wh/kg and 1,400 Wh/L at stack level in a multilayer pouch design—achieved by impregnating the electrolyte into a high-loading cathode with an areal capacity of 8 mAh/cm². The result requires no liquid electrolyte, which the company… Read more »
Payment platform provider Nayax has begun rolling out a new all-in-one AC charging solution for commercial sites looking to offer and manage paid EV charging. The new EV Meter solution combines Nayax payment technology, charger hardware and a cloud-based charge point management system into a single platform, reducing the need to coordinate separate providers. Built… Read more »
