Fortescue’s electric excavator outperforms its diesel counterpart
Australian mining giant Fortescue has been testing an electric excavator at its Chichester operation site. Over the past three months, the excavator has been running at partial capacity while the site team familiarized themselves with the new piece of equipment. Now the e-excavator is operating at full speed, and has reached the milestone of one… Read more »
What testing equipment do you need now for tomorrow’s EV batteries? (Webinar)
The soaring demand for EV batteries of increasing capacity has real implications for production and research testing. Managers can expand their battery test systems to increase their power, but they may not have enough space on the production floor. Already, voltage test requirements are exceeding the voltage limit of some test systems. As voltage and… Read more »
ION Storage Systems achieves milestone with its anodeless solid-state battery
ION Storage Systems, a Maryland-based manufacturer of solid-state batteries, has announced that its anodeless and compressionless SSB achieved a key threshold with its first market deployment with the US military. ION says its SSB successfully exceeded 125 cycles with less than 5% capacity degradation in performance, offering the potential for more than 1,000 cycles in… Read more »
Ingenity Electric launches mCrate electric propulsion system for boat builders
Florida-headquartered electric boat builder Ingenity Electric, a brand of Correct Craft, has introduced its mCrate electric propulsion system, which was designed as a drop-in product in the under-35-foot range. The GEN 3 design is an advance on the company’s earlier Nautique GS22E and Ingenity EL Dayboat projects. The system has a power range of 100… Read more »
How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain
Q&A with Umicore’s Robert Privette Umicore traces its roots to a Belgian mining company formed in 1906. Since then, it has moved on from mining to a variety of high-tech pursuits including refining, recycling and the manufacture of specialized metal products. Today it’s one of Belgium’s largest companies, and has a strong presence in e-mobility,… Read more »
Battery cell qualification for EVs: Lucid’s cell specialist discusses the complicated process
Q&A with Lucid’s Battery Cell Technical Specialist Maithri Venkat. When it comes to battery cells for EVs, one size definitely doesn’t fit all. The properties of a particular cell act as constraining factors for every aspect of a vehicle’s design—and not only for vehicle performance parameters such as range and power, but for the development… Read more »
Download the Techniques & Methods of Battery Failure Analysis Whitepaper
Sponsored by Intertek. Identifying the root cause of a problem Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to identify the root cause of a failure. The findings from a failure analysis are often used to determine corrective actions such as preventing the failure of similar products, improving the design of future products… Read more »
Thermally conductive potting compounds enable higher power-density electronics (Whitepaper)
Sponsored by Parker Lord. Now more than ever, we are seeing a strong trend toward the electrification of vehicles in the transportation industry, including automobiles, buses, trains, off-road vehicles, watercraft and aircraft. In these electric vehicles, long ranges and high horsepower require high power density from their electrical components such as batteries, motors and generators,… Read more »
Kia EV9 and Volvo EX30: Are they 2024’s most important EVs?
One’s a three-row midsize SUV under $60,000; the other’s a compact hatchback that starts in the mid-30s. Now we’ve driven both. Choosing “best of” or “most important” new cars is always dicey, and doubly so with electric vehicles. New entries are announced virtually every month, and picking the 2025 models that will be most important… Read more »
