How software-in-the-loop testing accelerates e-mobility: virtual validation for real innovation
Sponsored by dSpace. Electromobility is evolving rapidly. New vehicle concepts, complex E/E architectures, and increasingly powerful battery systems are pushing developers to their limits. At the same time, the pressure to shorten development cycles and reduce costs is growing. In this dynamic environment, one method is gaining significant traction: Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing. What Is Software-in-the-Loop Testing?… Read more »
Designing Batteries For Upcoming Regulations: No Flame Out, No Explosion
China’s updated standards set one of the strictest global EV battery safety standards, requiring testing under extreme conditions. The European market and U.S. manufacturers are expected to follow. What tools do battery engineers need in order to balance battery performance and safety? To meet these regulations and help ensure battery thermal safety across all applications,… Read more »
Chinese researchers devise high-energy, low-temperature battery based on hydrofluorocarbon electrolytes
Researchers from the College of Chemistry at China’s Nankai University have announced a battery breakthrough using a new type of electrolyte. In “Hydrofluorocarbon electrolytes for energy-dense and low-temperature batteries,” published in the journal Nature, the team explains how they designed and synthesized a series of new fluorinated hydrocarbon solvent molecules with fluorine coordination. Based on… Read more »
First Aptera solar-powered EV rolls off validation assembly line
Aptera Motors (NASDAQ: SEV) was originally founded in 2006. However, while other EV startups from that area endeavored (and mostly failed) to follow a three-step iteration from a low-volume luxury vehicle to an affordable mass-market EV, Aptera took an entirely different approach. The goal was simply to build the most efficient EV possible with available… Read more »

Baltic Yachts electrifies sailing systems with Molabo’s 48-volt motors
Baltic Yachts has been integrating Molabo’s 48-volt electric motors across a range of onboard functions on its sailing yachts—from propulsion and hydraulic sail handling to energy generation. The Finnish builder’s adoption of Molabo’s ARIES drives sidesteps the complexity and certification burden of high-voltage systems while delivering high torque, precise control and significantly reduced noise and… Read more »
Off-highway’s electric shift: why voltage, modularity and e-hydraulics matter
Electrification of off-highway vehicles isn’t new. What’s new is the combination of battery economics, tighter urban rules and a rapidly evolving global supply chain—forces that are pushing OEMs to rethink machine architecture, service strategy and the realities of charging on a jobsite. Danfoss Editron’s Eric Azeroual on off-highway electrification trends Electrification is often framed as… Read more »
5 overlooked EV components that are prone to vibration failure
Sponsored by Team Corporation. Electric vehicles have taken the automotive industry by storm as the United States aims to lower transportation emissions. However, while these efficient vehicles utilize cutting-edge technologies and deliver impressive results, some components remain prone to vibration failure. 1 Fasteners High-frequency vibrations from EV motors can result in standard fasteners loosening, which… Read more »
