Windrose and Autel demonstrate real-world megawatt charging using the MCS standard
Chinese electric truck OEM Windrose and EVSE manufacturer Autel Europe have announced the successful completion of a real-world Megawatt Charging System (MCS) charging session at a customer site in the Dutch city of Roosendaal. The Megawatt Charging System, which enables charging of heavy-duty EVs at power levels up to 3.75 megawatts, is rapidly making the… Read more »
EMI filters and noise mitigation techniques for power electronics
Pretty much every product, device or subsystem involved in power conversion, both on- and off-board anw EV, will have to comply with both safety and ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. And while most power electronics engineers find the safety regulations to be relatively straightforward, I’d wager that few feel the same about the EMC ones. EMC… Read more »
Dry electrode battery manufacturing: LiCAP says its solvent-free process can cut costs up to 50%
Drying out the EV battery manufacturing process. Reducing the cost of batteries is imperative #1 in today’s EV market. Battery costs have plummeted over the past few years, but by some estimates, the battery still accounts for roughly 40% of an EV’s total cost—and the higher upfront cost of EVs is the main impediment to broader adoption….
