New study: High-voltage transmission grid could help meet EV charging demands
New York and Massachusetts are both slated to phase out the sale of fossil passenger vehicles by 2035. The increased demand for electricity will require interconnection to high-capacity transmission lines in the next decade, according to a new study. The Electric Highways Study, produced by the utility National Grid, in collaboration with transportation analytics organizations… Read more »
Enevate’s new cells enable a Lightning electric motorcycle to charge in minutes
Battery technology developer Enevate has partnered with Lightning Motorcycles to equip Lightning’s Strike Carbon motorcycle with Enevate’s EV-size fast-charging lithium-ion cells. As part of product validation, Lightning integrated a 24 kWh battery pack with Enevate technology into the Strike Carbon e-motorcycle. It delivered 400 amps at a charge rate nearing 5C, resulting in a charge… Read more »
How pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes enable vehicle electrification (Webinar)
Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are a reliable solution for a range of EV battery pack applications. These include bonding, flame retardance and dielectric insulation, and protection of sensitive materials. However, EV battery applications represent just a fraction of the many ways these tapes can support the electrification of modern vehicles. In this free webinar at our… Read more »
TWAICE battery analytics platform promises enormously valuable insights at every point in a battery’s lifecycle
How healthy is your battery pack? As the old saw goes, if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. As the EV ecosystem develops, there will be an increasing need to measure and manage the performance of battery cells. Cell manufacturers need a standardized way to evaluate test data for new cells; EV designers… Read more »
Electrifying Auxiliaries: A flexible system approach for multiple auxiliaries
Sponsored by KEB Traditionally, a combustion engine provides more than just traction power to the wheels for commercial vehicles. It powers smaller auxiliary loads from the drive belt such as the power steering pump, air compressor for brakes and suspension, HVAC compressor, and coolant pump. And for body equipment, an engine provides power via PTO… Read more »
Over 300 battery gigafactories in the global pipeline
As EV demand steadily grows, automakers and their suppliers are wisely hustling to increase battery production capacity—preferably close to their auto plants and markets. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reports that there are currently over 300 battery gigafactories in the construction or planning stages around the world. This represents some 6,388 GWh worth of battery capacity, a… Read more »
