Just a few days ago, the Australian government announced the approval of a new standard that will allow EV owners to begin using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. Queensland-based RedEarth Energy Storage has wasted no time—it has signed a deal with ambibox to produce the German company’s bidirectional V2G-capable EV chargers at its manufacturing facility in Darra,… Read more »
The off-highway equipment industry is undergoing a significant transformation, with electrification taking center stage. Bobcat, a leading innovator in this space, has introduced its all-electric platform, the T7X. Unlike a common approach of simply replacing diesel engines with batteries and electric motors, Bobcat’s engineers embraced a holistic redesign, using the unique advantages of electrification to… Read more »
The DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory has developed a new design that aims to improve the performance and reduce the costs of lithium-ion batteries. Argonne researchers say the new “dual-gradient” design for the battery’s cathode increases energy storage capacity, stability and lifespan while reducing costs. In 2012, Argonne researchers developed a novel nickel-manganese-cobalt cathode material to… Read more »
