Design considerations for EV charging solutions
Sponsored by Bizlink. EVs represent one of the fastest-growing segments in automotive markets worldwide in recent years and they are projected to expand even more rapidly in the next ten years. For example, in the U.S., sales of electric vehicles rose from just 0.2% of total vehicle sales in 2011 to 4.6 percent in 2021.1… Read more »
Thermal runaway in EV battery packs: designing a mitigation strategy
Aspen Aerogels’ cutting-edge materials protect against thermal runaway Thermal runaway occurs inside a battery cell through a fault, a crash scenario or some other defect that causes the cell to release thermal energy through chemical reactions. That thermal energy increases the temperature of the cell, the increased temperature drives faster kinetics, and more heat is… Read more »
