How HummingbirdEV uses modular platforms and micro-factories to lower the cost of commercial EVs

Q&A with HummingbirdEV CEO Rakesh Koneru. The commercial EV market is hot—a bit too hot for some. Over the past decade, we’ve seen dozens of startups come and go. Many of these built promising vehicles, but starved out while waiting for customers to place volume orders. California-based HummingbirdEV, which was founded in 2015, is taking… Read more »

Testing Bi-Directional Power Electronics

Bidirectional electronics have been around us for years, tracing back to transcontinental, bidirectional communication lines laid under our oceans that utilize in-line amplifiers and repeaters. Bidirectional components have grown to affect our everyday lives, and this technology is now contributing to the development of sustainable, power-independent microgrid communities. Bidirectional power electronics are making a significant… Read more »
