NYSERDA awards $2.9 million for shared electric transportation projects in New York
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has awarded $2.9 million to 29 community-led projects to enhance planning for shared electric transportation solutions in New York, through the state’s $32-million Clean Mobility Program. Each of the awarded project teams will receive $100,000 to conduct feasibility studies on local transportation options including shared… Read more »
A closer look at multilevel traction inverters
The vast majority of EV traction motors must be supplied with sinusoidal 3-phase alternating current with the frequency proportional to RPM, and the overwhelmingly favorite way to do this is with a triple half-bridge voltage source inverter, or VSI. In this topology, each bridge switch can connect its output terminal (i.e. motor phase winding) either… Read more »
Pando’s minimalist solution allows more EV charging in less space at less cost
Who needs charging stations? Q&A with Pando founder and CEO Aaron Li. During times of rapid technological development, many companies address the new technology by adapting the trappings of the old (Remember internet portals and online malls?). However, those who think “outside the box” (Remember that tired old phrase? It’s back!) are sometimes able to… Read more »
QinetiQ validates 80% manganese-rich LMFP battery cathode for UK’s Integrals Power
Testing by UK defense technology company QinetiQ indicates that lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) cathode active material developed by UK battery materials producer Integrals Power could increase EV range by extending the useable capacity of the battery under high discharge conditions. Conventional lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries experience a reduction in useable capacity when the… Read more »
