Video: The benefits and challenges of dry electrode coating technology for EV batteries
The dry electrode process is transforming battery manufacturing by eliminating solvents and streamlining production. Unlike the traditional wet slurry method, the dry electrode coating process relies on the use of special binders that can form an electrode coating without being dissolved in a solvent, such as fluoropolymer binders with Teflon™ from specialty chemical company Chemours….

Hanon Systems debuts parallel EV heat source heat pump and space-saving Thin HVAC
Hanon Systems, an automotive parts manufacturing company headquartered in Daejeon, South Korea, has developed a fourth-generation heat pump system for EVs, as well as Thin HVAC, an HVAC system for EVs that is 30% smaller than the typical model in use today. The company’s new heat pump employs a parallel heat source recovery method that… Read more »
A closer look at Li-ion dry electrode coating technology
The dry electrode coating process has the potential to enable the production of better, greener, more cost-effective batteries. It relies on advanced fluoropolymer binders with Teflon™ For a few years now, Charged has been reporting on how dry electrode coating processes have the potential to revolutionize battery production by eliminating the use of hazardous, environmentally… Read more »
Paired Power’s EV chargers let customers mix and match solar, storage and grid power
Build your own microgrid in a few days: Q&A with Paired Power CEO Tom McCalmont As fleet operators know (or soon find out), deploying EV charging infrastructure involves much more than buying some chargers and running some conduit. Obtaining adequate power at a site is often a challenge, and it almost always takes a long… Read more »
Electronic fuses and the evolution of overcurrent protection
An old saw often uttered by an electrical engineer (or their hapless techs) when an electronic device releases its magic smoke goes something like this: “The transistor bravely sacrificed itself to protect the fuse.” This is a succinct way of saying that conventional fuses (and most types of circuit breakers) shouldn’t be counted on to… Read more »
ProLogium and FEV Group showcase silicon composite anode for EVs
Lithium ceramic battery (LCB) developer ProLogium Technology has introduced a new silicon composite anode battery, which Germany’s FEV Group is using to develop a next-generation battery pack. According to the companies, the new battery system can reduce vehicle weight, increase energy efficiency, and improve charging speed. The system offers energy density of 749 Wh/L, and… Read more »
Which is better for electric trucks: central drive or e-axles?
As Charged readers know, EV designers are free from many of the considerations that generations of ICE vehicle designers regarded as givens. For one thing, motors can be mounted in various different positions on the chassis. For another, a transmission or gearbox may be an optional component. Jeff Seger, a clean energy consultant for the… Read more »
Webinar: overcoming the complexities of EV fleet conversion for optimal performance
The global transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating, driven by a combination of environmental policies, technological advancements, economies of scale for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), compelling business cases, and shifting consumer preferences. As this momentum builds, the demand for robust EV infrastructure, particularly charging stations, is surging. This is particularly so when converting fleets… Read more »
