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 »

Radian Thermal expands liquid cold plate design capabilities for high-density cooling
Radian Thermal Products, a global manufacturer of cooling devices, has expanded its line of skived micro-fin cold plates for high-power-density cooling across industries from automotive to aerospace. Liquid cold plates are precision-engineered heat exchangers that transfer heat away from critical components through internal channels carrying coolant. This design maximizes thermal contact and provides an efficient… Read more »
EVSE testing for safety and compliance
Sponsored by Advanced Test Equipment Corp. EVSE, or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, transfers electrical power from a power source to an electric vehicle. These devices can come in many different forms, such as charging stations, EV chargers, and charging points, but they all function under that basic principle. EVSEs today can differ depending on many… Read more »
magniX Samson batteries to power Bye Aerospace’s eFlyer prototype training aircraft
Electric aviation pioneer Bye Aerospace has chosen Everett, Washington-based magniX’s Samson battery product to power its eFlyer 2 aircraft prototype. Bye Aerospace has ordered Samson batteries for the first flight of the two-seat all-electric training aircraft, scheduled for early 2026. magniX says its Samson batteries offer “industry-leading” energy density, cycle life of over 1,000 full-depth… Read more »
