HIL simulation’s crucial role in the 800 V EV transition
Sponsored by Pickering Interfaces.The next power architecture of choice for EVs is 800 V, which requires components to be suitably rated and more durable than their 400 V counterparts. However, most test equipment used for 400 V EV system development can be re-used for 800 V if it can handle the higher voltages, making the… Read more »

Packaging second-life EV batteries into a plug-and-play energy storage system
Q&A with Smartville CEO and co-founder Antoni Tong What do EV batteries have in common with athletes and politicians? Once they age out (or get voted out) of their positions, they have the opportunity to have a lucrative (and in the case of batteries, useful) second career. Repurposing depleted EV batteries for stationary storage applications… Read more »
The economics of recycling LFP batteries are not as attractive as NCM—an opportunity for second-life applications?
The anti-EV crowd is fond of stating that EV batteries “can’t be recycled.” If they read Charged on a regular basis, they would learn that EV batteries are in fact being recycled around the world by a growing number of companies. Lithium-ion batteries contain valuable minerals such as nickel and cobalt, so they’re no more… Read more »
