The future of the electric automobile depends of the development of a practical battery with a useful range, something that so far has eluded engineers. One using nickel metal hydride may be the answer. "This is a new battery, which is non-toxic, environmentally green, and requires no ...
The iX3 is built on the Neue Klasse platform, featuring an 800-volt electrical architecture and BMW’s sixth-generation battery. This battery utilizes a smaller cylindrical design, replacing the current prismatic battery, resulting in a 20% increase in battery energy density, a 30% boost in dri...
A new kind of battery made primarily from carbon and plastic could extend the range of electric cars, increase the mileage of hybrid cars, and make plug-in hybrids more prevalent. (TRL) announced the new battery technology, claiming that it has been tested beyond 100,000 cycles and handles ...
Goal to showcase the evolution of new battery technology for electric cars First battery to get an FIA crash test rating Need to get UN regulation 38.3 safe air transport for lithium-ion batteries certification. This is especially limiting to manufacturers wanting to do quick iterations ...
Battery cooling is an area of contension in electric cars. Some, like Nissan, avoid using a coolant fluid with the batteries on the Leaf, as it reduces costs. Others, like Tesla, use cooling and thermal management to ensure the pack stays in its optimum
Future Trends and Implications for Battery Technology S&P Global projects that the readiness of each future battery technology is dependent on how much the technology deviates from the existing Li-ion battery technologies. As electric cars continue to dominate the Li-ion demand, the performance of n...
A new lithium-based electrolyte invented by Stanford University scientists could pave the way for the next generation of battery-powered electric vehicles.
For months, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has been teasing investors, and rivals, with promises to reveal significant advances in battery technology during a “Battery Day” in late May. New, low-cost batteries designed to last for a million miles of use and enable electric Teslas to s...
Learn more from GM's chief sustainability officer, Kristen Siemen, about the future of Chevy electric vehicle's battery technology and flexible EV platforms.
But he and Chiang are working to develop a technical capability that would be required regardless of any other advances. Even if other battery engineers find ways to make electric planes to fly a thousand miles, they’ll still need enough power to get off the ground. ...
