Electrifying commercial vehicles is a critical part of reducing emissions, so it’s frustrating that the pace of fleet electrification has been so slow. Viable commercial EVs have been around for years, but fleet operators insisted on conducting years-long pilots to prove their reliability. Now that phase is over, and companies are starting to place substantial… Read more »

Emporia’s energy management system prepares for the bidirectional EV charging future
Total control of power usage: from solar to EV and back to the house. Bidirectional charging promises to completely transform the vehicle ownership experience. Once an EV can double as a stationary storage device, it will take its place as part of an energy ecosystem that includes rooftop solar and energy management—and could even become… Read more »
Looking closer at filter, resonant and snubber capacitors in EVs (Whitepaper)
Sponsored by Knowles Precision Devices Many power electronics today are being designed for use in high-temperature, high-voltage environments, such as inside electric vehicles. However, size, weight, and power (SWaP) are also key factors driving electronic product development. These conflicting design criteria are an issue for many electrical engineers because space is not available to simply add… Read more »
