Sponsored by Pickering. EV platforms live at the intersection of high voltage, high power and strict safety requirements. From battery packs and traction inverters to DC fast chargers and cable harnesses, engineers must prove that insulation is sound during development and at end-of-line. That is the role of high-potential testing. In a withstand test the… Read more »

Karlsruhe waste disposal agency deploys 18 Mercedes-Benz eEconic electric trucks
Residents of the German city of Karlsruhe are enjoying quieter mornings these days. Waste collection agency Team Sauberes Karlsruhe (Clean Karlsruhe Team) recently added seven new Mercedes-Benz eEconic electric waste collection vehicles to its fleet. TSK used a test vehicle for over a year to gather experience and test the practicality of the electric drive… Read more »
A closer look at capacitor precharge and inrush current control
The vast majority of power converters used in the EV space—from battery chargers to traction inverters—are classified as voltage-fed, meaning they expect to be supplied from a source whose voltage varies little with changes in current draw (i.e. has a low impedance), and the best way to ensure this condition is with a capacitor across… Read more »

2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid: a Mitsubishi SUV with Nissan labels
Well, we didn’t see this one coming: The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid isn’t actually a Nissan Rogue. It’s a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with a Nissan grille and badges slapped on. When Nissan announced more than a year ago it would sell a plug-in hybrid Rogue in the U.S., the industry assumption was that it… Read more »
Inside the EV battery recall process—the complexity of safety and logistics
As EV adoption accelerates, so does the frequency of battery recalls—and the operational expertise they require. In recent months, a string of recalls from major automakers has underscored the complexities of EV battery systems. Hyundai recently pulled back a limited number of 2025 IONIQ 5s in the US after identifying a short-circuit risk linked to… Read more »
