Monolith and CamMotive team up on EV battery testing
Software provider Monolith has partnered with UK-based e-powertrain development and testing services provider CamMotive to provide engineers with the tools to run more efficient, insightful, and scalable battery tests. Bringing together Monolith’s software platform and CamMotive’s real-world battery data, the collaboration is expected to enhance test data validation, helping engineers detect complex failure characteristics during… Read more »
Energy-efficient ultrasonic welding in the smallest spaces
Sponsored by Telsonic. Welding Conductor Cross-Sections from 10 to 95 mm² to Terminals. Driven by the rise of electromobility and energy technologies, the demand for terminal welding systems is growing rapidly. Ultrasonic systems are often the ideal solution, as they produce highly robust connections without compromising conductivity—all within short cycle times. However, application requirements are… Read more »
EV Minivans! VW ID.Buzz, Lucid Gravity expand electrics into family van territory
One’s a retro icon, electrified, the other’s a fast, sleek luxury seven-seater—but they both qualify as minivans if you squint. Remember minivans? The hugely practical family vehicles with three rows of seats, superb cabin access, sliding side doors, and features like hidden floor compartments and vanishing third rows? They hit their height of popularity in… Read more »
CarbonScape pioneers a process to produce graphite locally from forestry byproducts
Cracking the carbon code Graphite, a crystalline form of carbon, is a critical ingredient in EV battery anodes, but it comes with some baggage. Most graphite is made from fossil fuels, and what’s worse, the vast majority of it comes from China, and establishing reliable sources of supply elsewhere is a long and complicated process….

Advanced cooling methods for power electronics
One of the primary issues the power electronics engineer must address is the removal of waste heat—the well-known Arrhenius equation from chemistry/physics tells us that the operational life of any given electronic component will roughly double for every 10-11° C drop in its temperature. Power electronics devices on EVs are also under considerable pressure to… Read more »

Korean scientists find a way to control concentration gradients in high-nickel cathodes
Researchers at Pusan National University in South Korea have introduced a novel mathematical framework for lithium-ion batteries containing high-nickel cathodes that enables flexible full concentration gradient (FCG) or core-shell designs. In a new study, an international research team led by Associate Professor Hyun Deog Yoo from the Department of Chemistry and the Institute for Future… Read more »
Ford announces new EV platform—first product to be a midsize electric truck
US automakers know they have to raise their EV games to catch up with China. The times call for action, not more empty slogans, so it’s encouraging to hear Ford announce a new electrification initiative that actually appears to have some substance to it. “We have all lived through far too many ‘good college tries’… Read more »
Magnachip introduces TOLT-packaged MOSFET for EVs
South Korea-based Magnachip Semiconductor has released its new 80 V MXT MV MOSFET, MDLT080N017RH, featuring a TO-Leaded Top-Side Cooling (TOLT) package for thermal management and power efficiency in motor control systems for e-scooters and light EVs. The company has begun supplying the MOSFET to a leading global electric motor manufacturer. Unlike conventional TOLL (TO-Leadless) packages… Read more »
