World Electric Vehicle Day: are EVs taking over?
World Electric Vehicle Day is here, presenting a great occasion to take a retrospective look at the past decade of innovation and disruption.
Crossover to electric aircraft progressing
Electraflyer has announced that it has passed crossover, meaning it now sells more battery-electric aircraft than polluting ones. Pipistrel sold over 100 battery-electric aircraft last year as they take over from its traditional offerings. Bye Aerospace does not even make conventional aircraft. With its Tesla-style approach, its order book exceeds 720 battery-electric aircraft evenly split between two and four-seaters.
Trends to track for Li-ion batteries in EVs
Overall, worldwide electric car sales were stronger than expected in 2020. Additionally, investment continued to pour into electric vehicles (EVs) and Li-ion batteries with 2020 seeing an additional 200GWh of planned capacity announcements in Europe, and this figure continues to grow on a regular basis in 2021.
The multi-billion business useful for 6G communications
Metamaterials are added-value materials. The IDTechEx report, 'Metamaterial and Metasurface Markets Electromagnetic 2022-2042' helps you prosper by making and deploying them everywhere. Who should you partner with, emulate or buy?Metamaterials are structures with repetitive patterning controlling radiation and other inputs in a previously impossible fashion.
EV fires: a disaster for automakers, but an opportunity for material suppliers
GM's first recall of the Bolt in 2020 was a significant milestone in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Approximately 69,000 cars produced between 2017-2019 were recalled for potential battery fires. The 'solution' was a software update limiting the battery capacity to 90% and an inspection of the battery. In 2021, two more Bolt's have caught fire, both of which had the recall. Continued investigation between GM and LG Chem has determined the ca...
Electrically conductive adhesives set to impact the electronics industry
IDTechEx have recently launched 'Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECAs) 2022-2032', a market research report detailing the technology of ECAs, a form of conductive joining technology. Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECAs) are a growing competitor to lead-free solders and silver sintering technologies, and currently see use in several electronics applications, such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and display applications.
Electrification will take mines beyond mining
Imagine mines with so much electricity production and storage that they do far more downstream processing. As reserves deplete, many will even transition to being zero-emission power stations and electricity storage for local communities and industry or even national grids. The cost of making-good becomes income from reinvention. That is the untold story of mining electrification, beyond the vital safety, greening, and cost reduction of electrics...
The challenges of the world's largest electric vehicle market
China’s electric two-wheeler market is the largest electric vehicle market in the world. Some 29.66 million were produced in 2020 (with sales typically at over 98% of production). Today, however, the market is no longer seeing the explosive growth of the past, the IDTechEx report ‘Electric Two-wheelers 2021-2041’ finds.
Increased adoption for computational image sensors
The increasing adoption of computational image analysis is creating opportunities for many new types of image sensors. These have a diverse range of capabilities, ranging from dramatically lowering the cost of short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging to large-area thin-film flexible photodetectors. IDTechEx's new report, titled ‘Emerging Image Sensor Technologies 2021-2031: Applications and Markets’, comprehensively explores the market for ...
3D printing composites will be a $2bn industry
3D printing of fibre-reinforced polymers is rapidly approaching a commercial tipping point. This is quickly becoming one of the most exciting and impactful areas of 3D printing; over the next decade the market will grow to $2bn, the installed base and applications will expand, and technology will continue to mature. This growth will not be without challenges; there are barriers to adoption to be overcome in multiple sectors, supply chains & d...
