Looking closer at filter, resonant and snubber capacitors in EVs (Whitepaper)
Sponsored by Knowles Precision Devices Many power electronics today are being designed for use in high-temperature, high-voltage environments, such as inside electric vehicles. However, size, weight, and power (SWaP) are also key factors driving electronic product development. These conflicting design criteria are an issue for many electrical engineers because space is not available to simply add… Read more »
GenCell’s off-grid EV charging solution uses alkaline fuel cells, hydrogen and ammonia
Israeli firm GenCell Energy has launched GenCell EVOX, a new off-grid EV charging solution that uses alkaline fuel cells, hydrogen and ammonia. GenCell’s EVOX is designed to be deployed in locations where grid connectivity is inadequate. The technology is currently is service at several commercial parking projects in Israel. The company says its EVOX hydrogen… Read more »
Quebec lithium mine faces many hurdles to reach production
As EV adoption grows, it’s plain that more EV raw materials will need to be mined and processed in North America (and Europe). But bringing a new mine into production is a lengthy process with many potential pitfalls along the way. A lithium mine in the pine forests northwest of Montreal provides an example of… Read more »

GreenPower secures vouchers from California and New Jersey incentive programs for its EV Star electric trucks
The states of California and New Jersey offer voucher programs to help fleet operators purchase commercial EVs (the HVIP and ZIP programs, respectively). GreenPower Motor Company (NASDAQ: GP), a manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty EVs, has become expert at helping its customers navigate the voucher application process. GreenPower recently secured an additional 85 vouchers under… Read more »
Companies around the world offer replacement LEAF batteries
The false assertion that EV batteries wear out quickly, and can’t be replaced or recycled, is a favorite of the anti-EV crowd, so it was interesting to hear an exec from Nissan (one of the few automakers that has actually sold large numbers of EVs) clearly and unequivocally rebut the idea. “Almost all of the… Read more »
