Sponsored by Aspen Aerogels Battery engineers face the daunting challenge of maximizing thermal runaway protection while optimizing vehicle performance. This task becomes even more critical as cell-to-pack and cell-to-chassis designs increase in popularity because manufacturers lose the added protection that can be built into a module-based design. Although newer chemistries such as LFP and solid-state… Read more »

Hitachi Astemo to supply Honda with e-axles
Electric powertrain company Hitachi Astemo has received e-axle orders for mid- and large-sized EVs from Honda. (Hitachi Automotive Systems, Keihin, Showa and Nissin Kogyo all merged to form Hitachi Astemo in 2021.) Hitachi Astemo’s e-axle is composed of its SiC inverter, which has a heat-dissipating insulation mounting system, its square-wire and low-loss motor, and a… Read more »
Aptera chooses Maxeon to supply solar cells, begins producing panels
Aptera is different. While other EV-makers aspire to become “the next Tesla” by building high-performance vehicles that look just like the ICE vehicles drivers are used to, Aptera is focusing on building the most efficient and greenest vehicles possible. Critics may say that consumers won’t buy an unusual three-wheeled aerodynamic vehicle (Aptera might dispute that—it… Read more »

EV Lubes: The Latest In Driveline E-Fluid Technology
New driveline e-fluids, designed to enable the latest electrified powertrains to perform at their very best, are entering the market. Many earlier electric vehicle powertrains were developed using automatic transmission fluids (ATF). Not optimised for EVs, increasingly these are being superseded by the latest generation of lubricant fluid technology, termed driveline “e-fluids”. e-Fluids are optimised… Read more »
Innovative New Anode-Free Cell Enables Dual-Chemistry EV Battery Architectures
Michigan-based energy storage company Our Next Energy (ONE) has unveiled a 240 Ah prismatic anode-free cell after a 12-month R&D effort. ONE new technology will enable the commercialization of its Gemini dual-chemistry architecture, which will be integrated into a BMW iX prototype vehicle later this year. ONE’s 1,007 Wh/L cell eliminates the need for graphite… Read more »
New Innovative Laser Welding For Hermetic Seal Of Aluminum Alloys In EV
