EV

by Jon Gabay, engineer We are so manipulated in our society. Others dictate the technologies we will use and depend on without regard to ramifications. Poor planning and hip-shot reactions lead to wasted time and money, and the goals…

Land Rover and Wolfspeed announced a strategic partnership to supply Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors for next generation EVs, specifically for powertrain efficiency and extended driving range. Jaguar Land Rover intends to become carbon…

GaN is hot. There’s a dramatic interest in and collaboration on Galium Nitride (GaN) use in automotive apps. KYOCERA AVX and VisIC announced the expansion of their partnership to provide high-current components for such high-voltage apps as…

NASA's Biological and Physical Sciences Division sponsored a team that developed the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE). It enables a two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer experiment on the ISS in the long-duration…

With the EV market sector booming, BOSTONtec has designed a specific solutions that streamline electric auto manufacturing and R&D activities.The company will be revealing its new workbench at The Battery Show North America in…

On this episode of the EEDI Podcast, we’re going to talk about the realities of electric vehicles. Governments are making laws, end users are eager to buy, and private companies are investing, but what about the actual usability and…

Rare earths consist of 17 elements found in the periodic table. Miners find these elements clustered in geologic deposits. Rare earths are in high demand as we use them in many aspects of the green energy transition and modern life.…

Charging stations could be the Achilles’ heel that stymies the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles. A recent study is basing its conclusions on unanticipated events surrounding the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The…

Performance decline caused by repeated charge-discharge cycling in the cathodes is the bane of next-generation batteries. EVs need greater ranges, and the grid requires low-cost batteries to store intermittent clean energy. The…

SABIC rolled a new, thinner gauge of its ELCRES™ HTV150A dielectric film at APEC 2022 in Houston. The film targets capacitors in the traction inverters, onboard chargers, and electrical compressors of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery…
