MAHLE develops a new bionic battery cooling plate
German automotive parts supplier MAHLE has developed a new bionic battery cooling plate with cooling channels modeled on shapes encountered in nature (i.e. coral) that cause the coolant to flow differently than conventional flow-through solutions. MAHLE’s bionic structure improves the thermodynamic performance and structural-mechanical properties of the cooling plate, says the company. Also, the design… Read more »
Download the Battery Management System Resource Kit
Sponsored by TE Connectivity. Within an electric vehicle (EV) battery system, the battery management system (BMS) is the electronic system that manages the battery pack and the cells. The BMS is critical for optimum battery performance and safety which means it must operate with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. It must be able… 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 »

A twist in ultrasonic metal welding
Sponsored by Telsonic. Ultrasonic-based processes and EVs have much in common: efficiency, performance capability, reliability, connectivity, and eco-friendliness are among the essential characteristics that they both possess. The torsional ultrasonic welding procedure called SONIQTWIST® was developed by Telsonic AG in 2006 and quickly established itself as the joining procedure for a great variety of plastics… Read more »
ZF demonstrates new electric drivetrain and networked chassis technology
German automotive supplier ZF has developed a new thermal management system for EVs as part of its electromobility shift. Along with ZF’s optimized drivetrain, the new software “makes a significant contribution to higher efficiency,” according to the company. The new drive system is 30% lighter and can potentially boost winter vehicle range by up to… Read more »
Freudenberg Sealing’s new customized 3D thermal barriers for EV batteries
Thermal runaway—the ignition or explosion of a battery cell caused by a self-reinforcing heating process—can be caused by a range of internal and external factors, such as overcharging, excessive discharging, damage, or heating of the battery. Thermal runaway releases not only flames and hot gases but also electrically conductive particles. These in turn can cause… Read more »
