Carrar says its immersion-cooled battery architecture stops thermal runaway even with a cell above 800 °C
Carrar says testing at its R&D lab showed its Two-Phase Immersion Architecture can prevent thermal propagation between high-energy NMC pouch cells even under extreme failure conditions. In the test, a 72 Ah pouch cell was driven into thermal failure with a temperature rise exceeding 15 °C per second, and the triggered cell rose above 800… Read more »
Next year, your luxury Uber robotaxi may be a Lucid; how it all came together
From the sensor-packed ‘tiara’ on the roof to the Nuro software stack providing autonomous driving, the Lucid Gravity met all the qualifications for a self-driving luxury Uber. Lucid’s robotaxi is ready for the road—except for one small detail. It still needs to fit the microsprayers that will clean its various sensors to ensure they work… Read more »
Webinar: Designing batteries for upcoming regulations: no flame out, no explosion
China’s updated standards set one of the strictest global EV battery safety standards, requiring testing under extreme conditions. The European market and U.S. manufacturers are expected to follow. What tools do battery engineers need in order to balance battery performance and safety? To meet these regulations and help ensure battery thermal safety across all applications,… Read more »
