Sponsored by Pickering Interfaces. Discover how the shift to 800 V power system architectures is revolutionizing electric vehicle design and testing. This white paper delves into the reasons behind the move to 800V charging, the challenges it poses for test professionals, and the critical role of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation in this transition. Learn how 800V… Read more »
A consortium led by UK sustainability consultancy Urban Foresight has won funding from Innovate UK to lead a study called CoastalCoRRE, which will explore the concept of modular, floating electric boat charging hubs. The idea is that the portable charging hubs could help overcome the physical, electrical and environmental constraints of remote coastal locations, where… Read more »
Solid-state batteries are a hot topic in the EV world—they theoretically off higher energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, as well as an improved safety profile and other advantages. Many, many companies are working on SSBs, and automakers are testing them, but we haven’t yet seen large-scale deployment of all-solid-state cells in a production… Read more »
XCharge North America has partnered with electrification contractor Energy Plus to build a large EV charging hub in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The site will feature 44 XCharge GridLink units, serving 88 parking spaces, and will incorporate 9.46 MWh of energy storage. The site, which will operate under Energy Plus’s Eplug brand, is expected to go live… Read more »
Sponsored by dSpace. Electromobility is evolving rapidly. New vehicle concepts, complex E/E architectures, and increasingly powerful battery systems are pushing developers to their limits. At the same time, the pressure to shorten development cycles and reduce costs is growing. In this dynamic environment, one method is gaining significant traction: Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing. What Is Software-in-the-Loop Testing?… Read more »
Eldorado Gold, an intermediate gold and base metals producer, has selected Sandvik to supply 10 battery-electric vehicles, plus 10 charging systems, for its Lamaque Complex in Val-d’Or, Québec. The orders include five Sandvik TH550B trucks and five Toro LH518iB loaders. The first two 50-ton trucks were delivered in October. The remaining three trucks and five… Read more »
Blink Charging says it has launched the first phase of cryptocurrency payments at select EV DC fast charging sites in the US. Drivers can pay for charging sessions using USD Coin (USDC). Blink says the crypto payment option supports USDC transactions on four blockchain networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base. Crypto payments are now live… Read more »
South Korean battery materials manufacturer EcoPro has completed construction of its cathode material plant in Debrecen, Hungary, and is beginning commercial production. The site, spanning approximately 440,000 square meters, houses EcoPro BM, which produces cathode materials; EcoPro Innovation, which handles lithium processing and EcoPro AP, which produces industrial oxygen and nitrogen. The facility, which has… Read more »
Allegro MicroSystems has introduced the ACS37200, a galvanically isolated current sensor designed to increase efficiency and power density in high-current applications, including hybrid and EVs. Allegro says the ACS37200 addresses a key challenge facing EV and industrial power engineers: the heat and energy loss caused by traditional shunt resistors in high-current designs. The ACS37200 features… Read more »
Cabot has announced a multi-year supply agreement with PowerCo SE, a Volkswagen Group battery manufacturing subsidiary. Under the deal, Cabot will supply conductive carbons and conductive dispersions for lithium-ion EV battery electrodes, positioning the agreement as part of Cabot’s growth push in battery materials.
