Sponsored by ANSYS.EV designers must address an increasingly complex matrix of engineering goals on tightening timelines. Optimized system design requires evaluation of many different concepts, topologies, and electronic interactions across disciplines. Considering the traction motor alone, there are several design decisions that impact the function of the entire vehicle. Engineers used to perform electromagnetic analysis… Read more »

How NanoGraf is commercializing the “world’s most energy-dense” 18650 battery cell with stable silicon oxide
Q&A with NanoGraf COO Connor Hund Graphite, a pure form of carbon, is a critical material for battery anodes. Graphite’s physical structure allows it to store lithium ions, which merrily migrate to the anode when the battery is charged. Unlike cathodes, which can be composed of various combinations of chemicals (cobalt, nickel, manganese, lithium, iron,… Read more »
Tata Motors to operate 1,500 electric buses for Delhi Transport
Tata Motors and its subsidiary TML CV Mobility Solutions have signed an agreement with Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to operate 1,500 electric buses in New Delhi. According to the agreement, TML CV Mobility Solutions will supply, operate and maintain 1,500 12-meter low-floor Tata Starbus electric buses over the next 12 years. “We are pleased to… Read more »
A multi-physics approach to battery thermal management and runaway analysis (Webinar)
Thermal issues associated with the battery might affect its safety, reliability, lifetime, and performance. What if you can ensure the battery operates in safe temperature ranges while maximizing its performance, minimizing its degradation and avoiding hazardous conditions? Siemens offers an integrated battery design and thermal management workflow with multi-level modelling and multi-physics simulations. In this… Read more »

Was Britishvolt’s collapse the beginning of the end for the UK auto industry?
When Charged spoke with execs from aspiring battery manufacturer Britishvolt back in May of 2022, we were impressed by the company’s big ambitions and innovative ideas. We were very disappointed to hear of its recent demise, but not unduly surprised. As is typically the case in nascent industries, the attrition rate among EV-related companies is… Read more »
A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries
Q&A with Graphex CEO John DeMaio Reading the EV press, you might assume that lithium, cobalt and nickel are the stars of the battery show—they get a lot of coverage, as pundits debate the relative merits of NMC and LFP cathode chemistries and agonize over looming shortages. Meanwhile, over in the anode, there’s an unsung… Read more »
Overcoming the complexities of charging infrastructure for your heavy-duty EV fleet (Webinar)
Electrifying commercial vehicles is a critical part of reducing emissions. To achieve maximum impact the pace of fleet electrification needs accelerating, fast, nowhere more so than in the heavy-duty trucking industry. While EVs of all sizes are now flooding the market there remains two key hurdles faced by fleet operators – charging infrastructure that responds… Read more »
