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.
Versinetic’s periodic table explains EV sector tech terms
With the exponential growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs), comes a whole new set of jargon, acronyms and tech terms. Versinetic has compiled an interactive periodic table of over 100 terms and abbreviations to make navigating the EV landscape easier.
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...
Electric boats square off in Monaco e-boat race
The Monaco Yacht Club hosted the first competition between greenenergy boats. Candela C-7, an electric foiling boat, is available for test drives during the event. Teams from around the world gather in Monaco this week in preparation to race their electric boatsduring the Monaco Energy Challenge, a competition that ‘aims to stimulate the creativity of tomorrow’s engineers and the industry to develop propulsion methods using clean ener...
Six hundred mile EVs coming in 2025
Here come 600-mile electric cars and they will grab market share even as city cars. At last, you will be able to buy an EV that lets you vacation in it wherever you wish. The detail is in the new IDTechEx report, ‘Routes to 1000 Mile (1600km) Battery Electric Cars 2021-2041’.
Power skiving for electric vehicles
Tesla’s automobiles are frequently cited as examples that electric vehicles (EVs) don’t need multiple gears or dual transmission. That is, except for all the models that do. As the multi-gear EV trend begins to pick up speed Mats Wennmo, Global Automotive Transmission Manager at Sandvik Coromant, theglobal leader in metal cutting, has explained how a process known as power skiving can help EV manufacturers keep-up, but with greatly-re...
Top five sensor products in June
Here, Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top five sensor products released in June.
The evolving landscape of EV manufacturing
The competition to electrify vehicles is not simply the competition between rival manufacturers. What is now at stake is a competition between two rival, diametrically opposed manufacturing methods. While many persist with the mantra of bigger is better, others are heading in the opposite direction. Here, Roger Brereton, Head of Sales at Pailton Engineering, investigates the pros and cons of the microfactory in EV manufacturing.
