Discover the future of EV measurement with the Power Analyzer PW8001
Sponsored by Hioki. A key challenge in developing Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is extending the driving range through improved energy efficiency. Unlike fossil fuels, batteries have a lower energy density, necessitating large-capacity batteries to match the range of internal combustion engines, which inadvertently increases vehicle weight and decreases energy efficiency. Thus, there is a pressing… Read more »
Tesla scores a $5-million order from Baltimore for a fleet of EVs
From its early days, Tesla captured the imagination of car consumers, but when it comes to the fleet market, the company’s record has been more mixed. In January, rental giant Hertz announced plans to sell thousands of the Teslas it had purchased a couple years earlier, and replace them with gas-guzzlers. Competitor Sixt faced a… Read more »
