Sponsored by WACKER Thermal Efficiency The needs of automotive and general electronic devices can vary based on application. In most applications, efficient thermal management is crucial to prolonging the life of the essential electronic components. For example, a heat sink is often used to pull heat away from electronics. But even when pairing a heat… Read more »

New brand-independent battery housing reduces weight and costs
A consortium consisting of Lorenz Kunststofftechnik, Forward Engineering, Evonik, LION Smart, Vestaro and Minth has developed a solution to help improve EV efficiency through lightweight battery construction. In late 2019, work started on a brand-independent, low-cost housing. The resulting battery pack is expected to weigh about 10 percent less than a pack made with commonly… Read more »
XING Mobility partners with Castrol to deliver immersion-cooled battery systems
XING Mobility and Castrol have announced a partnership to further develop XING Mobility’s immersion cooling battery technology with Castrol’s thermal management fluid. XING’s Immersio Modular Battery Pack technology directly submerges lithium-ion battery cells in non-conductive cooling fluid. Castrol’s recently launched product, Castrol ON e-thermal fluid, is circulated through XING Mobility’s system at a dynamic flow… Read more »
LiNa and ion Ventures conclude successful test of solid-state sodium battery platform
ion Ventures, a utility and energy storage infrastructure specialist, and LiNa Energy, a solid-state battery technology developer, recently concluded a successful trial of LiNa’s proprietary solid-state sodium battery platform. LiNa says the battery is constructed from easily sourced, low-cost materials, contains no cobalt or lithium, operates at a wide range of temperatures, does not require… Read more »

High-voltage EV battery packs: benefits and challenges. More voltage, more better?
In 2020, Porsche delivered just over 20,000 units of its luxury Taycan EV—the first vehicle from a major automaker to sport an 800 V (nominal) battery, which is more than double the voltage of its competitors (and firmly into light-rail and switchyard locomotive territory, actually). It appears that many other EVs will soon follow in… Read more »
Truck-maker Scania favors battery-electric over hydrogen vehicles
Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, says it will “gradually” electrify its heavy-duty vehicles, and that “battery-electric vehicles will be the main tool to drive this shift.” “By 2025, Scania expects that electrified vehicles will account for around 10 percent or our total vehicle sales volumes in Europe and by… Read more »
Battery test simulation tech helps OEM overcome fast-charge challenge
D2H Advanced Technologies has delivered a project that solves a known charging issue with a production EV. The company deployed its battery simulation and correlation capability to enhance battery thermal management in a fast-charge scenario, accelerating the development process to reduce excess noise from high pumping power and help the dissipation of heat. The project… Read more »
Liquid Cooling For EV Charging And How To Spec Connectors
The more power used to deliver faster charging, the more heat that is generated. Effective thermal management via liquid cooling deals with the heat and these systems need couplings or secure connectors in order to deliver reliable ongoing operation of EV charging stations and EV battery systems. Attention to thermodynamic principles is critical yet the… Read more »
