Gotion completes 0.2 GWh pilot line for all-solid-state batteries
Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion High-Tech has completed a 0.2 GWh pilot production line, started in 2024, that has a 90% yield rate for its GEMSTONE all-solid-state battery. The 2025 iteration demonstrates a 60% improvement in sulfide electrolyte ion conductivity, 150% higher cell capacity and 90% reduced stacking pressure pre-tension force, the company said. Its safety… Read more »
Providing second lives for fleet EV batteries
Zenobe’s stationary storage business complements its turnkey EV offering for fleets. Here at Charged, we’ve covered a lot of companies that provide fleet electrification services. However, we’re far from done writing about them (and readers, I hope you aren’t tired of reading about them), because each one seems to have its own unique set of… Read more »
Solar array at New Terminal One at JFK Airport to be largest at a US airport, will provide 50% of total electricity needed
John F. Kennedy International Airport, the busiest airport for international traffic in North America, always seems to be reinventing itself. It opened in 1948 as New York International Airport, although it was typically referred to then as Idlewild. The airport was intended as the world’s largest and most efficient, with “no confusion and no congestion.”… Read more »

Accelerate e-powertrain design with AI simulation (Webinar)
Join Alexander Fischer, Co-Founder and Product Manager at SimScale, in this live demo as he explores how to speed up thermal management design with AI simulation. SimScale has reduced entire analysis workflows from days and weeks to hours, enabling engineers to explore the full design space and reduce the need for costly physical prototyping and… Read more »
Synop is one of the few doing V2G projects commercially: Q&A with co-founder
Q&A with Synop co-founder Gagan Dhillon Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is a hot topic—many EV industry execs say it has the potential to transform the transport and energy industries (we hear the term “game-changing” a lot). However, others have told Charged that they expect it to be more of a niche technology, useful only in certain… Read more »
dSPACE to present new solutions for data-driven development, simulation and validation of EVs
dSPACE, a provider of automotive simulation and validation solutions, will demonstrate several solutions for electric and self-driving cars at the upcoming CES 2024 trade show. As the exclusive on-vehicle computer technology sponsor of the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), dSPACE will demonstrate how its solutions work in demanding racing environments in a night race at the… Read more »
An inside look at how utilities view EVs: expanding electricity sales without adding new customers
Q&A with the Orlando Utilities Commission’s Peter Westlake. Anyone who would deploy any kind of large-scale EV charging project needs to work closely (and early) with their local electrical utility. This can be a complex undertaking, especially for companies that work in different regions, as there are around 1,600 utilities in the US, subject to… Read more »
Bidirectional and regenerative EV test equipment: technical gains with environmental benefits
Sponsored by Chroma Systems Solutions. Reducing the carbon footprint and optimizing thermal cooling are paramount in modern manufacturing and have become significant criteria for selection and deployment of automated test equipment. In addition, budget constraints could be circumvented by the use of multi-purpose instrumentation. Last but not least, replenishing dissipated power to the grid will… Read more »
