快速充电的可用性将是电动汽车采用的最大驱动力之一。目前的公共直流充电桩可以在半小时至一小时内为车辆充电至80%--与内燃机汽车加油所需的几分钟相比，仍然是相当长的时间。多个制造商和开发商正在[...]。
While electrifying road vehicles – cars, buses, bikes – are widely talked about, one type of EV is slowly paving its way into the world: eVTOL or electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. Like a helicopter, eVTOLs do not require a runway to land or takeoff, making it a good option for cities with a
Artificial intelligence has been changing how the world works for many years now. From algorithms that optimize production, to voice activated virtual assistants on a smartphone or smart speaker, AI is able to optimize and automate processes to make them more efficient and productive. How can AI improve battery research and development? Here are three
Seemingly straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie, self-driving cars may soon be a reality. Multiple big-name companies are racing to release robotaxis – self-driving cars meant to ferry passengers between destinations. Zoox, a self-driving car company acquired by Amazon earlier in 2020 unveiled its robotaxi in December after years of secrecy. In the same
With researchers testing different materials for a fresh take on the battery, how should we assess whether a certain material is a viable option? Integrating materials like silicon, graphene, and even sodium into battery chemistries is currently being studied. Here are 5 factors to consider when assessing whether a certain battery material is feasible. Material
What is the “Internet of Things”? Our world is more connected than ever with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT refers to the multitude of “things” connected to the Internet, collecting and sharing information or allowing users to perform or initiate functions without even being physically present. An automated smart home would
There’s big news in the battery world. A new modeling study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reported that second life batteries from the electric car industry could be reusable for grid storage in solar operations. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows, and with states like California phasing out gasoline-powered vehicles, there will soon be an abundance

Cold can be a threat to car batteries. Drivers in below-freezing temperatures routinely must deal with dead batteries that need a jump. However, researchers at Penn State University developed a solution to this problem. The new battery they developed has an extra material layer that enables cold charging. How the Cold-Charging Battery Works There are many components
在便携式和移动电池技术的发展和进步中，重量是一个关键因素。电池尺寸和重量的逐渐减少使移动技术的采用在过去几年里蓬勃发展。以手机为例，1973年的第一款便携式手持移动电话
You’ve likely heard of some common battery types, such as lithium ion, that are helping to power the future. However, there’s a new contender for most-promising battery solution – graphene. Graphene batteries leverage their namesake material, which sees carbon atoms bind together in a honeycomb lattice pattern to form an extremely strong, yet thin sheet.
A battery management system allows users to monitor individual cells within a battery pack. As cells work together to release energy to the load, it is crucial to maintain stability throughout the whole pack. This is where a battery management system (BMS) comes into play. A BMS allows for constant monitoring, gathering, and communicating information
