What’s going to happen to the NEVI EV charging infrastructure program? We asked two experts.
The NEVI Formula Program, established as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, provided $5 billion in funding that states could use to build EV charging infrastructure if certain conditions were met. In February, the DOT suspended the program, and rescinded prior approval of states’ spending plans. In June, a federal judge temporarily blocked the US… Read more »
Dow introduces high-temperature silicone gel to boost efficiency in EV power electronics
Dow has launched DOWSIL EG-4175 Silicone Gel, a protective material designed to support next-generation insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules operating at higher voltages. This new gel withstands temperatures up to 180°C and is targeted at power electronics in electric vehicle batteries and main inverters, as well as inverters used in photovoltaic panels and wind… Read more »
Zeta Energy makes a breakthrough in lithium-sulfur battery technology
Cheap, abundant and sustainable. Sulfur may not be the most glamorous of elements—some may associate it with rotten eggs, stinky well water, or even the devil, as invoked in a country preacher’s fire-and-brimstone sermon. But as a component of an EV battery cathode, sulfur has a lot to offer. The yellow stuff is lighter and… Read more »
Tellus Power wins funding for 33 EV charging sites in California’s second round of NEVI program funding
Tellus Power builds EV chargers in California. The company offers DC fast chargers in 180 kW and 360 kW versions, with a choice of CCS, CHAdeMO and/or NACS connectors. The company has just announced a big win in its home state. In July, the California Energy Commission proposed $36.88 million in awards in the state’s… Read more »
Revised NEVI guidance will apparently allow states to proceed with EV charging projects
The US Department of Transportation has unveiled revised guidance for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. At the moment, it appears that some or all of the NEVI Formula projects in the pipeline can proceed. The NEVI Formula Program, established as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, provided $5 billion in funding that… Read more »
Moleaer unveils nanobubble process to boost battery capacity retention and performance
Moleaer has announced a patent-pending method that integrates nanobubbles into the fabrication of thin films used in lithium-ion batteries, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, and electrolyzers. According to Moleaer, this chemical-free, non-invasive process increases the porosity and uniformity of thin films, directly impacting the efficiency, durability, and power output of devices critical to electric… Read more »
