That would be news to Nissan’s UK Marketing Director Nic Thomas. “Almost all of the… Read more »
3 design considerations for next-gen EV charging stations
Sponsored by Littelfuse How to make tomorrow’s charging stations more efficient, highly reliable, and safer Global hybrid and electric vehicle adoption depend on the network of fast-charging EV stations available. Users don’t want to run out of juice where they cannot recharge their vehicles. Widespread adoption also depends on reducing the charging time, with the… Read more »
Laser welding technology for dissimilar metals drives EV efficiency, and it’s getting more efficient
Sponsored by Amada Weld Tech Whether a driver intends to use an electric vehicle for a daily commute or only sporadically, he or she expects that the battery will hold a charge and not lose too much energy in use. EV manufacturers, therefore, aim to design batteries with greater range between charges, and that—when they… Read more »
