The Tesla 3 gets nearly double the range of the Nissan Leaf by using nearly double the amount of battery but engineers are using a multitude of work rounds to do better: aerodynamics, lightweighting even including structural electronics where dumb structure is replaced by supercapacitors or solid state batteries. Add more efficient motors and powertrain. Fuel cell hybrids retain the cachet of most expensive solution with a long on-road charging t...

This may surprise you, but did you know the electric car isn't a recent development? The idea has been around for over a century and has an interesting history of development. The early EVs, such as Wood's Phaeton, were little more than electrified horseless carriages. The Phaeton itself had a range of 18 miles and a top speed of 14 miles per hour.

Love them or hate them, 'listicles' are here to stay. Last month, TIME assembled a team of journalists to compile the ultimate tech catalogue counting down 50 of the most influential gadgets of all time. That got me walking down memory lane so I put together a list of five of the most iconic products to use MIPS. By Alexandru Voica, Senior Marketing Manager, Imagination Technologies.

2015 was a momentous year for technology, with Apple making the leap into wearable technology by launching the Apple Watch in April and the launch of Tesla's semi-autonomous autopilot system in October, bringing us one step closer to self-driving cars. And how could we forget the Volkswagen scandal in September, which saw the Environmental Protection Agency accuse the automotive giant of violating the Clean Air Act?

Moixa Technology has announced a ground-breaking pilot of Moixa’s smart battery Maslow product in ScottishPower customer homes, helping them to save money and use more of the energy they generate. It also demonstrates how storage technology could address the challenges facing the UK’s overstretched grid.

Stellar growth over the coming decade is forecast by IDTechEx for the EV business resulting in nearly one trillion dollars sales at ex-factory prices in 2026. About half of that will probably be the 48V mild hybrids first launching in 2017 when they will not be EVs i.e. propelled by electric motors some or all of the time. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx.

When Newton Tesla sets up new variable speed drives for their customers, they can do configuration, re-programming and monitoring from any location. By connecting a Netbiter gateway to their drives systems, they can offer their customers immediate assistance and do remote commissioning during the critical start-up period.

The report from IDTechEx Research, Lithium-ion Batteries 2016-2026, finds that at around $140bn in 2026, the Li-ion battery business will dominate the battery business. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx.

This article shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx Research report, “Electric Vehicle Traction Motors, Belt Driven & Integrated Starter Generators 2016-2026”. It is no longer contentious to say that the future of land, water and air vehicles is to be more and more electric. The detail of how this is being achieved is rich and varied and it revolves around the electric motor and its variants far more than the more-discus...

According to the latest analysis by Semicast Research, Harman and Panasonic led the automotive entertainment systems vendor share ranking in 2015, ahead of Alpine, Bosch, Clarion and Continental. Collectively these six suppliers are estimated to have accounted for two-thirds of shipments to this market last year. The major news however is the growing influence of Apple and Google in the auto market.
