We’ve overcome many challenges in history and in vehicle development. However, many future challenges remain. In this session, we will discuss where we are with these challenges in powertrain design, battery development, and fuel cells, and how our future looks. Presented by: Jeff Hemphill, Chief Technical Officer, Schaeffler Group USA All Sessions: October 2021 Conference

DOE awards $30 million to secure domestic supply chain of critical materials
The DOE has announced $30 million in new funding for 13 national lab and university-led research projects to develop new technologies to help secure the supply of critical clean tech materials, including cobalt, neodymium and platinum. Research funded in this announcement is intended to advance the understanding of how rare-earth elements and platinum group elements… Read more »
Noodoe’s EV Exceed DC fast charger cranks out 950 volts
Most of today’s EVs operate on 400-volt systems, but 800 volts is clearly the near future. Higher-voltage systems can deliver the same amount of power with less current, which means that charging rates can get higher without making charging cables impractically heavy and bulky. Charger manufacturer Noodoe explains that DC fast chargers are going to… Read more »
Bosch’s new flexible charging cable does away with the “charging brick”
Bosch’s new smart charging cable, introduced at the recent IAA Mobility 2021 trade show, is designed to be flexible and compact. It includes the usual control and safety technology, but dispenses with the usual bulky in-cable control box, or “charging brick.” The new cable weighs less than three kg, and comes with adapters for Type… Read more »
DOE awards $43 million to support battery manufacturing innovations
The DOE has announced a new $42.3-million funding opportunity (DE-FOA-0002553) to support manufacturing innovations for energy technologies to drive reductions in carbon emissions. The latest FOA is focused on three topic areas: Manufacturing process innovation, including drying process improvements, advanced tooling solutions and sustainable chemistry practices; Advanced materials manufacturing, including the development of aluminum-cerium alloys… Read more »
DOE awards $60 million to 24 emission-reduction R&D projects
The DOE has awarded $60 million in funding to 24 R&D projects aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light- and heavy-duty trucks. The projects, funded through the DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Vehicles Technology Office (VTO), address the two largest contributors to transportation-sector emissions. Passenger cars and light-duty… Read more »
Noodoe announces three new technologies for managing EV fleet charging
Charging management provider Noodoe has announced three new technologies for managing EV fleet charging: Autonomous Service Delivery, Intelligent Load Management and Smart Scheduling. Noodoe EV OS is a cloud-based operating platform designed to serve as a charging network’s “central brain.” The system automates charging service delivery, peak-hour price adjustment, transaction billing, payment processing, infrastructure diagnostics… Read more »
DOE announces additional $47 million for transformational energy technology projects
The DOE has announced $47 million in new funding for seven projects as part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA-E) Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential (SCALEUP) program. These selections bring total SCALEUP program funding to over $70 million, building on $24 million in previously announced SCALEUP “Fast Track” selections…. Read more »
DOE releases Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap
The DOE has released the Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap, the agency’s first comprehensive energy storage strategy. Announced in January 2020, the Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) seeks to establish American leadership in energy storage. In addition to concerted research efforts, the Roadmap’s approach includes accelerating the transition of technologies from the lab to the… Read more »
