Enevate’s new cells enable a Lightning electric motorcycle to charge in minutes
Battery technology developer Enevate has partnered with Lightning Motorcycles to equip Lightning’s Strike Carbon motorcycle with Enevate’s EV-size fast-charging lithium-ion cells. As part of product validation, Lightning integrated a 24 kWh battery pack with Enevate technology into the Strike Carbon e-motorcycle. It delivered 400 amps at a charge rate nearing 5C, resulting in a charge… Read more »
How To Unleash SiC Power Device Efficiently With Smart Control?
The efficiency of electric vehicles has become a challenge for todays’ OEMs. After having achieved market entry, next generations of EVs must prominently be more efficient. It is not only better for energy consumption and environmental concerns, but also a strong key differentiator as dozens of new EV models are introduced every year. With lower… Read more »
POSCO Chemical to supply cathode active material to GM
POSCO Chemical, a global materials firm, has announced a binding supply agreement with GM for high-nickel cathode active material (CAM). POSCO will provide 13,770 billion Korean won (about $10 billion) worth of CAM from 2023 to 2025. POSCO plans to produce the CAM at its Gwayngyang facility in Korea. The GM and LG Energy Solution… Read more »
How pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes enable vehicle electrification (Webinar)
Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are a reliable solution for a range of EV battery pack applications. These include bonding, flame retardance and dielectric insulation, and protection of sensitive materials. However, EV battery applications represent just a fraction of the many ways these tapes can support the electrification of modern vehicles. In this free webinar at our… Read more »
Oil wells could soon be pumping lithium in Alberta
Everybody loves lithium, but mining it does have an environmental footprint. Everybody (around here) hates oil, which has a much bigger footprint. But what if I told you that there’s a way to extract lithium from existing oil wells, and that it’s not only greener than other lithium extraction methods, but could even clean up… Read more »
Cadillac’s ambitious move to an all-electric luxury brand by 2030
The car that once advertised itself as “The Standard of the World” will go all-electric. Can the US luxury brand reinvent itself for a modern era…and for China? Among cutting-edge automotive buyers—the glitterati of Los Angeles, the tech millionaires of Silicon Valley, the finance titans of Wall Street—only one Cadillac is widely recognized. It’s a… Read more »
TWAICE battery analytics platform promises enormously valuable insights at every point in a battery’s lifecycle
How healthy is your battery pack? As the old saw goes, if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. As the EV ecosystem develops, there will be an increasing need to measure and manage the performance of battery cells. Cell manufacturers need a standardized way to evaluate test data for new cells; EV designers… Read more »
The redesigned federal EV tax credit and other EV-related measures
Unpacking the Inflation Reduction Act The recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act—a sweeping package of tax, health care and climate measures—was like the happy ending to one of those heartwarming “Save Christmas” stories. We may never know what Machiavellian machinations persuaded Senator Manchin to release Santa Claus, but the merry old elf is coming… Read more »
Designing a hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system for an EV startup
Sponsored by Pickering interfaces A complete physical HIL simulation system based around modular PXI switching and simulation modules Imagine the challenge. You are working for an electric vehicle (EV) startup, designing the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) test system. Everything is new – the hardware, the software, the tools, the testers and the test code. Yet, the… Read more »
