Turntide axial flux motor to power Sierra Echo-S EV in King of the Hammers 2026 off-road race
Turntide Technologies has announced that its Sierra Echo-S, an EV powered by Turntide axial-flux motor technology, will compete in King of the Hammers 2026 off-road race. The entry is intended to prove out off-road electrification in a race that combines high-speed desert sections with slow, technical rock crawling. The Sierra Echo-S aims to be the… Read more »
Donut Lab says its all-solid-state battery will be used in a production electric motorcycle this year
Solid-state batteries are a hot topic in the EV world—they theoretically off higher energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, as well as an improved safety profile and other advantages. Many, many companies are working on SSBs, and automakers are testing them, but we haven’t yet seen large-scale deployment of all-solid-state cells in a production… Read more »
Download the guide to succeeding with connector miniaturization in automotive systems
Sponsored by Heilind. As automotive technology advances toward fully autonomous driving, the limitations of traditional flat and domain-based electronic architectures are becoming increasingly apparent. This whitepaper, crafted by Molex subject matter experts, explores how connector miniaturization plays a pivotal role in enabling next-generation automotive system designs, specifically within zonal architecture frameworks that promise improved scalability,… Read more »
High-potential testing for EVs: why reed relays raise confidence in insulation and safety
Sponsored by Pickering. EV platforms live at the intersection of high voltage, high power and strict safety requirements. From battery packs and traction inverters to DC fast chargers and cable harnesses, engineers must prove that insulation is sound during development and at end-of-line. That is the role of high-potential testing. In a withstand test the… Read more »
Sionic Energy and Group14 set new high-temperature benchmark for silicon-carbon anodes
Battery technology company Sionic Energy, together with Group14 Technologies, has announced the results of testing that demonstrates a new level of high-temperature stability for 100% silicon-carbon anodes in lithium-ion cells. By combining Group14’s SCC55 silicon-carbon anode material with Sionic’s proprietary Rapid Integration Silicon Platform containing 100% silicon-carbon (Si-C) anode and enhanced electrolyte, the companies “have… Read more »
Nuvola’s SafeCoat battery separator withstands nail penetration testing
US-based battery company Nuvola Technology has demonstrated that its SafeCoat Direct Deposition Separator (DDS) can prevent thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries under extreme conditions that typically result in catastrophic fires. In testing, Nuvola’s 41-layer, 5 Ah lithium-ion pouch cell with SafeCoat DDS survived nail penetration testing, maintaining its charge without ignition or thermal runaway. That… Read more »
