How ridesharing can help solve the challenge of urban EV ownership
Q&A with Revel COO Paul Suhey. New York-based Revel is riding two timely trends. Because rideshare vehicles log so many miles, electrifying them can deliver outsize emissions reductions—and drivers for the likes of Lyft and Uber will need strategically located urban charging hubs. Meanwhile, millions of drivers in dense cities like New York live in… Read more »
Sakuu announces successful 3D printing of patterned batteries
Additive manufacturing and solid-state battery specialist Sakuu says it has successfully and consistently achieved 3D printing of fully functional batteries in custom shapes and sizes. The batteries were printed as patterned cells containing patterned openings for thermal management on Sakuu’s Silicon Valley battery pilot line—an important step in developing the company’s Kavian platform for the… Read more »
How charge management can reduce OpEx and CapEx for EV fleet projects
Q&A with The Mobility House Business Development Manager Sam Hill-Cristol If there’s one topic that everyone in the EV infrastructure field is talking about these days, it’s charge management.

How to build a successful EV charging network with geospatial data
Sponsored by KoremThe popularity of alternative energy vehicles (EVs) is now undeniable. McKinsey estimated that the number of EVs in the U.S. would grow from less than three million today to more than 48 million in 2030; more than 44 million of which would be passenger cars and the rest buses, light commercial vehicles, and trucks. … Read more »
Was Britishvolt’s collapse the beginning of the end for the UK auto industry?
When Charged spoke with execs from aspiring battery manufacturer Britishvolt back in May of 2022, we were impressed by the company’s big ambitions and innovative ideas. We were very disappointed to hear of its recent demise, but not unduly surprised. As is typically the case in nascent industries, the attrition rate among EV-related companies is… Read more »
Porsche fine-tunes Taycan EV braking for better recuperation without reduced comfort
A new article from Porsche highlights a technical challenge in chassis development for EVs: blending, which is when regenerative and hydraulic braking are combined. “The driver must not feel the transition between the systems,” says Martin Reichenecker, Senior Manager of Chassis Testing at Porsche Engineering. Guaranteeing a smooth transition places great demands on the technology,… Read more »
A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries
Q&A with Graphex CEO John DeMaio Reading the EV press, you might assume that lithium, cobalt and nickel are the stars of the battery show—they get a lot of coverage, as pundits debate the relative merits of NMC and LFP cathode chemistries and agonize over looming shortages. Meanwhile, over in the anode, there’s an unsung… Read more »
